The Malone announces expansion with 24 new luxury rooms

The Malone Hotel, one of Northern Ireland’s premier four-star boutique establishments, has revealed plans to expand its facilities with the addition of 24 new luxury rooms.

The expansion project will see the construction of a new wing at the historic Victorian townhouse, located in Belfast’s prestigious Queen’s Quarter. Inspired by the city’s rich history, the new rooms are expected to offer a unique blend of traditional elegance and modern comfort, designed to appeal to both corporate and leisure travellers.

Speaking on behalf of The Malone, a representative expressed the hotel’s excitement at the opportunity to grow and welcome more guests. “Inspired by the city and it’s history, the new wing of the hotel will have special touches of Belfast throughout. Our team are excited to be able to welcome even more guests to The Malone and we can’t wait to see the finished product!” they stated.

The Malone, originally established in 1945 as The Bowness and operated by two generations of the Macklin family for the last 30 years, has long been known for its commitment to exceptional service and authentic Irish hospitality. Nestled along the leafy Lisburn Road and surrounded by fashionable boutiques and cafes, the hotel is a hidden gem for visitors seeking both tranquility and proximity to the vibrant city centre.

With its blend of history and modernity, the new development will be designed to seamlessly integrate with the hotel’s classic Victorian architecture, offering guests an experience that combines the charm of a bygone era with contemporary amenities. The project will also create opportunities for local employment during the construction phase and in ongoing operational roles once the new rooms are opened.

The addition of these 24 rooms will significantly increase the hotel’s capacity, allowing it to accommodate larger groups and cater to a growing demand for high-quality accommodations in the area. The expansion reflects a broader trend of investment and growth in Belfast’s hospitality sector as the city continues to attract both business and leisure travellers.

The Malone is set to unveil the new rooms in the coming months, with further details to be announced. “Watch this space…” the team shared on a recent LinkedIn post, promising a new chapter for this Belfast institution.
