voco Belfast
A Belfast city centre hotel has been awarded a four-star accommodation grade by Tourism Northern Ireland.
voco Belfast, an IHG Hotel, which is located within The Gasworks on the Ormeau Road, officially opened in July following a multi-million-pound refurbishment.
With a visually appealing exterior thanks to its striking red-brick, the interior was found to be equally as pleasing with spacious and contemporary rooms.
A new restaurant and bar area was also found to be another standout feature.
