Europa Hotel
Often called the heartbeat of Belfast, this four-star Hastings hotel has stood on Great Victoria Street for over 50 years, hosting presidents and famous faces near the main train station and the Grand Opera House.
The story
The Europa has 272 rooms, 92 of them Executive Bedrooms and Suites. Superior rooms sit at the front with views over Great Victoria Street, and five individually styled Junior Suites add a separate lounge and a city view. The hotel was named in The Telegraph's 250 Best Hotels in the UK for 2026, and it also hosts weddings and conferences through its Business Centre. Eating and drinking are spread across three spaces. The Causerie, a bistro led by Executive Head Chef Kyle Greer, works with local produce and suits a casual meal or a pre-theatre dinner. The Lobby Bar serves coffee, light bites and classic cocktails, while the Piano Lounge offers afternoon tea daily and runs from morning coffee to evening cocktails. City Hall and Titanic Belfast are within easy reach.
