Europa Hotel

A Belfast institution

The hotel has stood at the heart of the city centre for over half a century and has hosted presidents, celebrities and countless local celebrations. It was included in The Telegraph's 250 Best Hotels in the UK for 2026. Its location opposite the Crown Liquor Saloon and beside the Grand Opera House means much of Belfast's evening life is on the doorstep. Great Victoria Street is one of the main arteries into the centre, so the hotel works equally well for a theatre weekend, a shopping trip or a conference stay.

Rooms

Of the 272 rooms, 92 are executive rooms and suites. Classic rooms cover the basics, while Superior rooms at the front look down Great Victoria Street. There are five individually styled junior suites with separate lounge areas and city views, plus a Titanic Suite. Overnight show packages tie a stay to performances at the Grand Opera House. The hotel also has its own business centre for meetings and conferences.

Eating and drinking

The Causerie is the all-day bistro, with a menu led by local produce and a pre-theatre option. The Lobby Bar serves coffee, light bites and classic cocktails, and the Piano Lounge is the place for afternoon tea, served daily, and evening drinks. The hotel also has a spa, bookable separately.
