A Titanic-Themed Hotel Might Be Coming to Belfast

Hmm...you definitely can't say it's "too soon" for a Titanic-themed hotel to open in Belfast but we're not so sure if we're loving the idea of a hotel that's built around a tragedy. But thanatourists will love this place.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, a five-star 90-room hotel with a swimming pool, a gymnasium and a Titanic theme has been announced for the old Harland and Wolff Headquarters building at Queen's Island in Belfast, near where the doomed ship was constructed.

The hotel, if plans are approved, will be part of a larger revitalization project called the Titanic Signature Project, which seeks to restore the Thompson Dock and the slipways where the Titanic and her sister ship, The Olympic, were built. This Titanic Quarter, as the area is called, will also have apartments, an entertainment district and an amusement park, Titanic-themed of course.

Another Beatles Hotel Planned for Liverpool

While the Hard Days Night Hotel was the first Beatles-themed hotel on the scene in Liverpool, it might not open in time to be the first Beatles-themed hotel taking guests.

That's because an 18-room Beatles hotel is planned to open soon. The owner is Sarah de Fermor who already owns the Lennon's Bar in town. The hotel will be named after one of the Beatles' song--Eleanor Rigby and is expected to open in two months. Meanwhile the Hard Days Night is set for a January opening.
