The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast with its uniquely relaxed and comfortable character, stands discreetly in the heart of the city centre right next to The Grand Opera House on Great Victoria Street.
With a coveted five-star grading from the AA, this boutique hotel is synonymous with excellent service, luxurious style and a unique approach to hospitality.
For more than a decade now the Fitzwilliam Hotel has welcomed many famous faces and VIPs, and today they are adding to their esteemed guest list by welcoming some of the very best friends around - our dogs.
And we can reveal that The Fitzwilliam has become the first 5* hotel in Belfast to invite dogs through their doors.
To celebrate this great dog friendly news, the Fitzwilliam Hotel has teamed up with Belfast Live and DogsLive to give one lucky couple and their beloved dog the chance to experience a night of luxury with an overnight stay, including breakfast in an executive guest bedroom.
And to ensure the winners' dog is 5* ready, the team at Urban Pup are giving them a capsule wardrobe featuring the latest style and practical accessories.
Cian Landers, General Manager of the Fitzwilliam Hotel, said: “We’ve always been known as the friendliest five-star hotel in Belfast, and now we're delighted to extend that welcome to dogs as well as people.
“The last 18 months have given us time to 'paws’ for thought and reflect on the needs of our customers. Dogs have always been a big part of the family, and now more than ever as we’ve grown even more attached to them during lockdown.
"So it's natural to consider that we should take them with us to enjoy a five*-star experience as after all, our dogs love an adventure just as much as we do.”
Excitement about the dog-friendly announcement has been building in the hotel with the staff having fun with dog puns as they prepare for daring dog adventures in their very own corridors.
With *3.2 million households across the UK adding a dog to the family since the start of the pandemic, they are sure to meet some amazing new guests.
For folks bringing their dog to the Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast, there are a few simple things to remember : it will cost £30 per night and doggie guests will be provided with a water bowl in the room, a dog welcome treat, a small toy to take home and the cleaning fee taken care of.
