Upon its planned opening by the end of next year, the 144-room property is poised to transform a former office building into a destination for the modern traveller.
The property will feature a state-of-the-art fitness centre, alongside a variety of training options and hydration stations.
Accommodations at the Tempo by Hilton Belfast City Centre are designed for comfort and convenience. Guests can also access ‘Power Down’ relaxation features through a partnership with the Calm app.
Strategically located next to the Cathedral Quarter, the hotel will provide easy access to Belfast’s main attractions and transport links.
In addition to the Belfast project, Hilton’s expansion in the region includes the upcoming Marcus Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, DoubleTree by Hilton Belfast City Ten Square, and DoubleTree by Hilton Derry-Londonderry.
These openings are set to double Hilton’s room count in the country and increase the number of Hilton brands from three to five by the end of 2026.
It has also planned further openings in San Diego, California and Tennessee for this year.
Hilton UK and Ireland development vice president Nick Smart said: “Northern Ireland has a rich heritage and rapidly growing international appeal. We’re committed to ensuring that every traveller has access to a high-quality hotel to suit their needs – from business travellers and locals who want to explore what’s on their doorstep, to adventurous global visitors looking to experience everything this country has to offer.
“This latest brand entry is a significant milestone, and we’re delighted to work with partners like Loughview Leisure Group who bring a wealth of local experience and share our commitment to providing exceptional accommodation to suit every traveller.”
Earlier this week, Hilton signed a branding and management agreement with Wine Country Hospitality Partners for the Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country and Waldorf Astoria Residences Texas Hill Country.
