Thank you for choosing
DoubleTree by Hilton Belfast City
The hotel is one of the most popular hotels in Belfast, Northern Ireland and has won a raft of
plaudits and hospitality awards from the international travel media. However, this Grade 1
listed building has a long and varied history.
Yorkshire House
Yorkshire House was built in 1862, making it the same vintage as the Ulster Hall in Bedford
Street and it pre-dates the opening of Belfast City Hall in 1906, It has three storeys and nine
bay frontages which overlook both Donegal Square and Linenhall Street. The building’s
exterior features wonderfully carved portholes, featuring the famous & historical reliefs of
George Washington, Isaac Newton, Michelangelo and William Shakespeare amongst others.
The Hotel stands on the ground of what was once a row of Georgian houses where the
famous physician, poet, educationalist Dr William
Drennan lived in the early 1800s (whose sister had
already founded the Maternity Hospital on the city
square several years before, and which was the
forerunner of the current Royal Maternity Hospital).
The structure existed for many years as a Victorian
linen warehouse and served as the General Post
Office for a period.
Reliefs of important figures
The hotel in the heart of Belfast, now enjoys a reputation as one of the foremost iconic
