Five-star hotel at the Laganside epicentre |
4 Lanyon Place Belfast BT1 3LP United Kingdom +44 28 9027 7000 http://www.hilton.co.uk/belfast |
One of the flagship buildings of the new Laganside development, it symbolizes the optimism in the regeneration of Belfast since the paramilitary ceasefires in the mid-90s. Of course it has all the high standards you would expect of a Hilton anywhere in the world, but there is still a distinctive Belfast welcome awaiting. Lots of deals make checking out the price options in advance well worthwhile. Bill Clinton stayed here on a visit to Northern Ireland as US President. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Prestigious University |
University Road Belfast BT7 1LN United Kingdom +44 28 9024 5133 http://www.qub.ac.uk/ |
No trip to Belfast would be complete without a visit to Queen's. The building was designed by Charles Lanyon and completed in 1849, about the same time as University College Cork and University College Galway. All three buildings share architectural similarities. The front wing of Queen's was based on the late medieval design of Magdalen College, Oxford, and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic revivalism. Call the Queen's Visitor Centre (just through the main archway to your left) to learn more about the institution and its history. You can buy an assortment of Queen's memorabilia here. As with many universities, the surrounding area is vibrant, with an emphasis as much on having a good time as serious, diligent, rigorous academic study. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Symbolic Landmark |
Upper Newtownards Road Belfast BT4 3SD United Kingdom +44 28 9052 0100 |
This neo-classical palatial structure built between 1928 and 1932 was designed to house the Parliament for Northern Ireland after the partition of Ireland into North and South in 1922. Set in its own extensive grounds, the main building stands at the end of a majestic avenue, one mile long. This is a building weighted with the full gravitas of government, and with the heavy history of the region and peoples to whom it is responsible. Dissolution of Stormont as the seat of Northern Ireland's Parliament has always marked periods of political unrest. The Northern Ireland Assembly is currently up and running, however, and people here and all over the world are anxious that it continues to be so. Review © 2007, Wcities |
