Clover Group plans new Cathedral Quarter hotel
A leading hospitality group is to invest £1.4m in two Belfast venues, creating 50 jobs in the process.
3 Wise Men Pubs, part of Clover Group, has lodged a planning application with Belfast City Council to transform offices at 35-37 Donegall Street into a hotel with a bar, restaurant and outdoor seating.
It will be 23 self-contained “pod” hotel rooms and a courtyard where gigs, sessions and performances will be held.
The firm, which already operates eight bars in belfast, also plans to add a new venue called Brat to its Donegall Square venue, Margot’s.
Located next to Belfast City Hall, Brat will provide a late-night dimension to Margot’s underground vibe bringing together an eclectic clientele with a quality food and music offering.
Mr Beirne said: “The vision across all our outlets has always been to provide unique, exciting and new experiences for our customers here in Belfast and those that are visiting our great city.
“Both Brat and our creative new hotel project will add new vibrant, hip and urban offerings that will appeal to broad range of people who are looking for the best fun and craic that Belfast and the Cathedral Quarter has to offer.”
Destined to be an important hospitality hub for both locals and tourists alike, it will consist of 23 self-contained Pod Hotel Rooms and it will exclusively feature Market Food Kitchens, bars and tiered seating terraces overlooking an al fresco dining courtyard with stretched sail cloth awnings overhead.
Developed with a view to hosting colourful gigs, sessions, drama and theatre shows the focal point of the courtyard will be elevated to provide customers with a unique experience with the venue surrounded by refectory style table and benches adding to the bespoke ambience.
