Titanic Amount Of 'Room At The Inn'
East Belfast's Titanic Quarter has opened its first hotel with an £8m Premier Inn launched this week and claiming to be 'First by name and first by nature'.
The 122-bedroom hotel is part of the Arc complex at Abercorn Basin and is situated adjacent to Titanic Quarter's entrance and near to the Gateway Office, Odyssey, Public Record Office and the new Belfast Metropolitan College site.
The hotel is a valuable addition to the growing development in the fast-growing harbour estate and is the sixth Premier Inn in Northern Ireland and is expected to particularly appeal to the tourist as well as to the business sector.
Speaking to UTV Employment Minister, Ulster Unionist, Danny Kennedy said: "It signals not only that Titanic is not only open for business, it's here also for pleasure. Congratulations to the Premier Inn on bringing forward this project."
Premier Inn is the UK's largest hotel chain and is part of the Whitbread group, which employs 33,000 people and includes brands such as Costa Coffee and Brewers Fayre restaurants.
