Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, owes its expansion to the Victorian-era industrial revolution. For several years now, it has seen the emergence of tourist attractions, convention centres, and modern housing, revealing a new image of the city.

The increased dynamism that the capital is undergoing demonstrates an ambition that is as strong as ever. The creation of the first five-star hotel in Ireland in 1998 is proof of this.

The city is truly expanding on a large scale. The zone around the docks and the banks of the Lagan River notably benefited from large-scale investment: one finds astonishing buildings there such as Waterfront Hall, a copper-dome concert hall, the extraordinary Odyssey Complex, and the Hilton five-star hotel, the only luxury hotel in the capital.

Near to the major attraction sites of the city, the Hilton Belfast Hotel is also located only five minutes by car from the airport, and faces the train station, which allows for rapid transportation from Belfast to Dublin.
