The four-star Fitzwilliam Hotel in Belfast has been placed on the market with a guide price of £32m (€37.4m), with commercial real estate firm CBRE Hotels managing the sale on behalf of Dublin-based hotelier Michael Holland. The premium freehold property features 146 bedrooms and suites, an award-winning bar and restaurant, a private suite, and a luxury penthouse. The hotel is situated on Great Victoria Street, directly adjacent to the Grand Opera House and the newly opened Belfast Grand Central Station.
The property is owner-operated and unencumbered by management, meaning a buyer can choose to rebrand or retain the Fitzwilliam name under licence. The sale includes recently approved planning permission (granted June 2026) for a major expansion, allowing the buyer to build 52 additional rooms, a conference centre, a gym, and a luxury spa with a swimming pool. The listing reflects strong momentum in Belfast’s hospitality sector, driven by rising visitor numbers and a constrained supply of luxury hotel space.
The expansion plans offer significant growth potential for the new owner, with the additional facilities expected to enhance the hotel’s appeal to both leisure and business travellers. The sale comes as Belfast’s hospitality sector continues to benefit from increased tourism and investment in the city centre. The guide price reflects the prime location and development potential of the asset.
CBRE Hotels shared in a written statement, “The listing reflects strong momentum in Belfast’s hospitality sector, driven by rising visitor numbers and a constrained supply of luxury hotel space.”
