Where to stay in Belfast

Titanic Quarter: start with the arena side of the visit

Compare Premier Inn Belfast Titanic Quarter and Aloft Belfast Titanic Quarter for different hotel formats near the arena.

Some official pages still use SSE Arena wording; check the address rather than assuming a new destination.

Confirm the hotel entrance, room occupancy, parking and measured route before booking.

Donegall Quay and Lanyon Place: compare two city-side bases

AC Hotel on Donegall Quay lists off-site parking; Hilton on Lanyon Place publishes self-parking arrangements.

Compare the city-side waterfront with your Belfast arrival and arena return, including the intended river crossing.

Save the hotel entrance and arrange a taxi beforehand if the walk will not suit everyone.

Central Belfast: make the next morning work as well

Hampton’s official description places Grand Central Station and Europa bus station close by; Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre offers another transport-focused central base.

Compare them for a rail or coach arrival with luggage. Price the whole party’s Thursday return, including a taxi if needed, against Titanic Quarter options.

Queen’s Quarter: check the parking-led alternative

Holiday Inn Express Belfast City is at 106 University Street in the Queen’s Quarter. Its current page lists breakfast and free guest parking, subject to availability.

Include both darts journeys, agree the driver and whether the car stays at the hotel, and compare room layouts and checkout for another Belfast day.

The O2 Belfast hotel shortlist

Premier Inn Belfast Titanic Quarter

Measured route: about 4 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Premier Inn Belfast Titanic Quarter’s official page places it close to arena events, although it retains the SSE Arena name in the description.

The property lists family and accessible rooms as well as double and twin categories.

Its parking guidance says Premier Inn does not own or operate the adjacent parking; guests are directed to the Gateway Hotel car park.

Official Premier Inn Belfast Titanic Quarter information

2A Queens Road, Belfast BT3 9DT · Official address; checked 28 October 2026.

Aloft Belfast Titanic Quarter

Measured route: about 11 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Aloft Belfast Titanic Quarter is listed by Marriott at 4 Olympic Way. The current property page describes parking as limited, subject to availability and not reservable.

This is a useful distinction for a driver comparing it with accommodation that offers a separate parking booking.

Check the room category and its beds for the people travelling; a newly listed hotel still needs the same practical questions as an established one.

4 Olympic Way, Titanic Quarter, Belfast BT3 9EP · Official address; checked 25 October 2026.

AC Hotel Belfast

Measured route: about 13 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

AC Hotel Belfast is on Donegall Quay, with the River Lagan and waterfront setting identified in its official description.

The Marriott page lists off-site Euro Car Parks parking rather than a hotel car park.

That creates a separate arrival task for anyone driving, so check where luggage can be unloaded and how parking payment works.

The hotel gives an eighteen-year minimum check-in age, which matters if younger adults are splitting bookings.

Donegall Quay, Belfast BT1 3FE · Official address; checked 25 October 2026.

Hilton Belfast

Measured route: about 16 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Hilton Belfast is at 4 Lanyon Place and lists covered, secured self-parking.

Its published parking policy says in-and-out privileges are not available, so a driver should check the implications of moving the car during the stay.

The hotel also lists Riverside restaurant and No. 4 bar. Use the exact room and rate details when comparing breakfast or family arrangements.

Its distance listing for the arena is not a walking-time guarantee.

Choose the return route separately and decide whether your party wants to walk or pre-arrange a taxi after leaving the venue.

Hampton by Hilton Belfast City Centre

Measured route: about 23 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Hampton by Hilton Belfast City Centre’s official description highlights nearby Grand Central Station and Europa bus station.

It lists hot breakfast, a lobby bar, a twenty-four-hour snack hub and connecting rooms.

These features are worth comparing for a rail-led trip or a family needing more than one bedroom.

A connecting-room listing is an invitation to enquire, not an allocation of adjacent rooms for your date.

Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre

Measured route: about 23 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre gives you a central hotel with a published off-site parking arrangement across the road at Go Park.

The IHG page describes discounted secure parking for a twenty-four-hour period, which should be checked against your arrival and departure.

This may suit travellers who want the vehicle parked while they visit the arena, provided they also plan the late return.

Holiday Inn Express Belfast City

Measured route: about 35 minutes by public transport. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Holiday Inn Express Belfast City is at 106 University Street.

IHG lists breakfast for guests and free, secure gated parking subject to availability, along with EV charging in its facilities list.

Those details make the Queen’s Quarter property a concrete alternative for a car-based break. Confirm charging access and the parking process if either is essential.

A room may be a sensible choice for your wider visit while still requiring a taxi after the darts.

Getting back after the Belfast darts

Groups and families staying in Belfast

Getting back across Belfast after the match

Mark the arena and hotel entrance on your own map before the visit, then agree which route the group intends to use.

Titanic Quarter, Donegall Quay and Lanyon Place are different addresses; a general waterfront description is not enough to guide someone who leaves the venue alone.

Bedrooms, children and the Belfast group plan

Use an eight-adult, four-room search as a starting point, then decide whether the rooms need twins or doubles and whether people will arrive together.

The family example uses two adults with children aged ten and twelve; the real children’s ages must be entered before comparing an offer.

Check the complete Belfast cost

Compare the final room total with breakfast, parking and the journey after the match written down beside it.

A free parking offer can be useful to one group and irrelevant to rail travellers.

Marriott describes the parking as limited and subject to availability, with no reservations. Check your alternatives if a guaranteed vehicle space is essential.

Is AC Hotel Belfast’s parking on the hotel site?
