Ormeau Road residents "frustrated" at plan to extend new hotel's licensing hours

A plan to transform a Catholic Church into a boutique hotel on Belfast’s Ormeau Road is facing new objections from locals after the developer made an application to extend licensing hours from 11pm to 1am.

In April 2019 the hospitality group the Galgorm Collection received permission from Belfast City Council to transform the former Holy Rosary Church and an adjacent Parochial House building at 348-350 Ormeau Road. The 19th century listed building has been derelict for over forty years.

The £8million plan by 'Fratelli Ormeau Road Ltd' involves the demolition of parts of the Parochial House and change of use of the whole building to an 18 bed hotel and licensed restaurant.
