The Merchant Hotel, Belfast, Brian Ballard Room

The Merchant hotel is the only AA five Red Star hotel in Northern Ireland situated in the heart of Belfast city centre's historic Cathedral Quarter. 62 highly apointed rooms with a harmonious blend of Victorian grandeur and Art Deco inspired sleek modernity. Formerly the Head Quarters of the Ulster Bank which dates back to 1860, this part Grade A listed property was sensitively resorted to its original splendour and is quite unlike anything in Belfast with a multitude of exciting amenities. The Event Space at The Merchant hotel was built in 2010 offering a range of spaces, from our 16 person boardroom, ideal for smaller meetings or private dining; right through to our Rita Duffy suite, perfect for conferences, dinners for up to 200 people. We also have a beautifully landscaped Absolut Roof Garden, decorated seasonally with a striking and inventive theme. Our Roof Garden is unique to the city and is available all year for private events, catering for up to 70 guests.

The Brian Ballard Room and its counterpart the Jonathan Aiken Room are ideal for breakfast meetings, lunch and dinner parties, meetings, drinks receptions, or as a breakout room with the main conference plenary taking place in the Rita Duffy Suite.
