View with a Room: bringing the outdoors in
As Ireland’s weather somewhat hampers outdoor activities Hastings Hotels is inviting guests to bring the outdoors in with some eye-catching accommodation choices.
From sky high cityscapes to stunning coastline vistas, the Northern Ireland hotel group offers a selection of rooms where you can enjoy unique views of Ireland’s natural and urban beauty from the comfort of your room. And two hotels are offering a complimentary room upgrade and a 10% discount before July 26th as an added enticement.
Culloden Estate and Spa, Bangor Road, Holywood, Belfast
Nestled in the lush surroundings of Belfast, the five-star Culloden Estate and Spa impresses with its spectacular gardens and views over Belfast Lough from the moment you drive in. Guests seeking to bring the outdoors in can choose a Garden Room which showcases the hotel’s beautifully manicured estate hosting some unique sculptures from local and international artists.
Alternatively, the Culloden’s Lough View rooms offer floor to ceiling windows with stunning views over Belfast Lough, the mouth of the Irish Sea, and once the route of the maiden voyage of Belfast’s famous ship, RMS Titanic.
With a wall of floor to ceiling windows in the newly refurbished Lough Bar and a pool with garden views in its award-winning spa, there are plenty of options to entice you to stay put.
Rooms from €321 for two adults with breakfast.
