A 102-bedroom hotel in Belfast city centre has received planning permission at the recent Planning Committee meeting.
The Grade B1 Listed Scottish Mutual Building will undergo conversion and restoration for this new hotel featuring bars and restaurants.
Another planning application for a stained-glass window at City Hall will reflect the city’s LGBTQ+ history.
Arder Carson, Chair of the council’s Planning Committee shared: “Granting planning permission for another new hotel in the city centre is welcome news. The plans for the new hotel, where the former Scottish Mutual Building is, are also important as they will see the conversion and restoration of another Grade B1 listed building in the city centre. This new hotel development is within the Linen Quarter Conservation area and will be an enhancement to the area through its character/appearance.
“The development further reinforces Council’s commitment to develop the city centre and make it an attractive place for people to visit, stay, as well as, work, study and invest in.”
