Set in the heart of Belfast’s historic Cathedral Quarter, this five-star, Grade A listed landmark marries remarkable heritage with every modern comfort.
Choose from 63 highly appointed bedrooms in two distinctive styles—Victorian Splendour or Art Deco Decadence—each thoughtfully designed for deep, post-round relaxation. Expect super-king, pillow-top beds and generously proportioned bathrooms with walk-in showers and large tub baths to soothe tired legs. With a rooftop hot tub and a wealth of modern amenities, recovery becomes part of the holiday.
Between rounds, restore body and mind in our unexpected, stunning and hidden destination spa in the heart of Belfast city centre. With five treatment rooms, a relaxation room and a hydrotherapy area*, this restful space is a quiet haven away from the bustle. Open to residents and non-residents alike, The Spa is thoughtfully designed to promote physical well-being and a state of calm—gentle music, sensual aromas and wonderful treatments leave you deeply relaxed and restored.
Dining is a highlight at The Merchant. Start your day in The Great Room Restaurant—an exquisite Victorian space crowned by a glass cupola and holder of 2 AA Rosettes—then return for fine dining later. For something more informal, swap stories from the day’s round over French bistro dishes and live jazz in Berts Jazz Bar, or enjoy classic comfort food and conversation at The Cloth Ear. And if a celebratory 19th hole is in order, the multi-award-winning Cocktail Bar crafts the perfect post-birdie drink.
With five-star service, multi-award-winning facilities, and a location that makes Northern Ireland’s world-class courses easily accessible, The Merchant Hotel is your home-from-home in Belfast—where heritage, modern luxury and great golf come together.
