Titanic Hotel Belfast
Titanic Hotel Belfast occupies the former headquarters and drawing offices of Harland & Wolff, the shipbuilders behind Titanic. It sits in the Titanic Quarter right beside Titanic Belfast, making it an obvious base for anyone coming to the city for its maritime history.

Titanic Hotel Belfast
A shipyard landmark
The Drawing Offices on Queen's Island are the oldest and most significant surviving building of Belfast's shipbuilding industry, once the control centre for the largest shipyard in the world. After lying empty from 1989 they were placed on the Buildings at Risk Register, then restored with heritage funding and converted into a four-star hotel with 84 bedrooms.
The drawing rooms
The two great drawing offices, where Titanic and her sister ships were designed, survived largely unchanged. One of them is open to the public and the other was planned as the hotel's dining room, so even if you are not staying, it is worth calling in to see the space where the plans were drawn.
Location
You are steps from Titanic Belfast and SS Nomadic, with W5 and HMS Caroline a short walk away. It is a quieter spot than the city centre, which is across the river, so plan on a walk along the Lagan or a short taxi ride for evenings out.
