An application to transform the former HM Revenue and Customs building into a new 113-bedroom hotel has been submitted to Belfast City Council.
The vacant office building, known as Beaufort House, is located at 31 Wellington Place. Commercial property development company, Lotus Property, have plans to create a new city centre hotel with a coffee hatch and restaurant.
In 2020, Lotus Property acquired the building with the original plans to open The Well which was to be "Belfast’s healthiest office building" and was approved in 2021. In 2022, they launched an application to change the use from offices to an Aparthotel.
