BELFAST'S Fitzwilliam Hotel has officially been awarded a five-star rating by the AA.

The luxury hotel, which opened in 2009, was awarded five stars in November 2016 under the Tourism NI accommodation grading scheme and the coveted AA award marks another significant milestone for the hotel.

The AA inspector’s report praised the attentive staff and high standards of housekeeping as well as the stylish and well-maintained property. The Fitzwilliam Hotel was also presented with an AA Rosette Award for its quality of food and fresh produce served in the hotel’s à la carte restaurant.

News of the latest five-star accreditation comes as the Fitzwilliam nears completion of a second £2 million investment to upgrade rooms and increase capacity at its premises on Great Victoria Street - bringing the total investment since 2016 to £4m.

General manager of the Fitzwilliam Hotel, Cian Landers praised his staff for the latest five-star accolade.

“The accreditation is testament to the efforts of the fantastic team we have here and the comments from the inspector show that the staff in all areas of the hotel made this possible. We are thrilled to have been recognised as an AA five-star rated hotel and will display our plaque with pride.”
