What could be seen as something of a gimmick is, on the contrary, a sophisticated hotel that pays subtle homage to the RMS Titanic.
Located in the Titanic Quarter (where the legendary ship was built), the hotel is set within the old Harland & Wolff headquarters, where the White Star cruise liner was designed at the turn of the 20th century.
You’ll find vintage posters, rare photographs and memorabilia displayed on the walls, as well as decor that gives a nod to the building’s heritage. The rooms have a vaguely nautical theme, with hanging ship’s lanterns and unique maritime artwork.
The location, around a 30-minute walk from the city centre, means you’ll likely rely on the charming in-house restaurant and bar – keep an eye out for the tiles that line it; the same ones used in the Titanic’s first-class bathrooms.
