Three miles south of the city centre sits this sprawling hotel overlooking the picturesque Lagan Valley Regional Park and a stone's throw from charming Shaws Bridge and the Neolithic Giant's Ring. The bedrooms are four-star standard, but it's the host of conference suites, huge ballroom and extensive leisure facilities that make this hotel a businessperson's dream. The Belfast Bar & Grill offers great food, the more relaxed Suburbia bar is handy for bistro dining and The Spice Club serves up superb Indian cuisine. Being away from the centre, parking is free and plentiful: and isn't it nice to wake up to birdsong instead of bustling traffic?
