Local Attractions
Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland and the largest urban area in the province of Ulster. Historically, Belfast has been a centre for the Irish linen industry, tobacco production, rope making and shipbuilding, with the city’s main shipbuilders Harland & Wolff propelling Belfast onto the global stage in the early 20th century as the largest and most productive shipyard in the world.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education and business, and is a legal centre of the United Kingdom.
Belfast’s city centre has undergone considerable expansion and regeneration in recent years, with the newly developed Victoria Square area attracting international attention.
Ramada Encore Belfast is next to the city’s Cathedral quarter and makes up part of the St. Anne’s Square retail, restaurant and apartments development within walking distance of the new and spectacular Victoria Square retail centre, the Titanic Quarter development, Castle Court Shopping Centre, Royal Avenue retail district and University of Ulster York Street Campus. The Waterfront Hall and Odyssey Arena are also located nearby.
Victoria Square Retail Centre
The £320 million retail centre is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects and a milestone in the revitalisation of the city centre. As the first development of this magnitude in Belfast, Victoria Square offers a mix like no other; integrating retail, residential and leisure facilities providing a new heart for the centre of Belfast. www.victoriasquare.com
Titanic Quarter
Titanic Quarter will bring new life to a part of the city that is rich in both history and potential. The site is centred upon former shipbuilding land from which vessels such as the RMS Titanic, Olympic and SS Canberra were launched – some of most innovative and complex engineering projects ever undertaken. It will become a major social and business meeting place with galleries, theatres, parklands and water sports all easily connected to Belfast’s thriving city centre.
