Boutique Hotel A Step Closer for Titanic Quarter

#BoutiqueHotel - In the Titanic Quarter, a luxury hotel employing 75 people, has come a step closer, it can be revealed reports the Belfast Telegraph.

The flagship 84-bedroom four-star 'boutique' development will be based at the old Harland & Wolff headquarters and Drawing Offices.
It's understood the new development could be worth around £27m.

And as many as 250 additional jobs could also be created through the hotel's construction.

It's also understood there are at least three other applications under way for similar developments in the area.

Planning permission had already been approved for a 111-bedroom hotel at the centre of the city's expanding Titanic development.
