Titanic Hotel Belfast - The Heart of the Yard

The Harland & Wolff Headquarters building was once the nerve centre of the largest shipyard in the world.

Hundreds of ships were designed in the Drawing Offices and constructed on the adjoining slipways, including the legendary White Star liners
Olympic, Titanic and Britannic and the naval warship HMS Belfast.

The magnificent dual Victorian Drawing Offices, with their three-storey high barrel-vaulted ceilings, are the only surviving example of this type of architecture in the world.

Guided by the history and culture of the shipbuilding location, the hotel remains true to the story of Harland & Wolff.

Working closely with conservation architects, traditional techniques such as lath and plaster were used on the walls. As much of the original fabric of the building was retained, with decorative features and artefacts reused wherever possible. Where it could not be retained, existing decorative moulding was recorded and replacements made.

The building is 'listed' due to its special architectural and historical importance, and was sensitively restored within architectural heritage protection guidelines.

The modernised upper accommodation levels are decorated with nautical and Art Deco themes, inspired by the style of the time, representing the art of shipbuilding and the 'Golden Age of Ocean Liners.'

Bedrooms have streamlined Art Deco furniture and nautical touches throughout, with hanging ship's lanterns, riveted panels and unique maritime artwork in every room.

The bedrooms and public spaces are a mix of genres, with preserved historic features, and contemporary artworks and decorations.
Throughout the hotel guest can enjoy a permanent collection of over 500 . artworks, artefacts and photographs
