Snobby Getaway In Belfast

May 15, 2006 at 3:41 PM | 0 Comments

If you are traveling to Ireland and not for a wedding, consider a luxury spot in Northern Ireland's capital of Belfast. The Merchant Hotel steps onto the decidedly un-hip scene with a glam slam.

With just 21 rooms and 5 suites the hotel can go over the top in decadence. The place oozes luxury and with several barons and baroness at the hotel's opening bash, the place is posh enough for the royals.

Classy black Bentleys are available for airport pick-ups. Over 400,000 British pounds were spent for the adorning antiques and artwork. And if that isn't snooty enough for you, a "members only" nightclub is also part of the package deal for guests-- kinda like THOR.

So far so good. The reviews are great and the hotel is without a doubt, full of classy stuff. Perhaps Belfast will get put on the map as a romantic getaway after all.
