The 34-room Tara Lodge is a modern, friendly boutique in a leafy residential area of Belfast within walking distance of the city center. Rooms are contemporary yet homey, and don't scrimp on amenities -- especially in the higher-end rooms. Modern bathrooms too are well equipped, featuring extra fluffy towels and luxury toiletries. Free Wi-Fi and on-site parking are a big plus, but spaces are not guaranteed. Despite its location street noise has been reported, so if you're after quiet rather than leafy surrounds the same distance from city center and at similar rates, look up the Radisson Blu Hotel.

This landmark 272-room Belfast hotel has seen a lot in its four-decade history -- from plentiful VIP visits to numerous renovations and repairs -- while maintaining a buzzy air of understated grandeur. Its location couldn't be more central, right in the heart of bustling Belfast. Soundproofing ensures little street noise makes it to the rooms, which are known for a particular attention to comfortable bedding. The elegant Piano Lounge attracts locals as well as the odd celebrity, though the lack of fitness facilities on-site feels like an oversight. Overall, it's a solid central Belfast choice, though for a more chic contemporary feel try The Fitzwilliam nearby.

Located in the heart of Belfast, The Merchant is grand and stylish, combining Victorian elegance with a modern Jazz Age vibe. There are several options for dining and drinks, including The Great Room, which serves a traditional afternoon tea, and Bert’s Bar, which has live jazz every night. Light sleepers might be wary of a hotel that provides earplugs to muffle noise from surrounding bars, particularly in some ground-floor rooms. Rates are in the splurge range, but that’s to be expected from the only five-star hotel in the city center — especially one that sells haute couture shoes in the gift shop. Travelers wanting a cheaper boutique hotel in the city center might try The Fitzwilliam Hotel, which has funky yet very modern decor.

The Culloden Estate is a popular spot among couples and honeymooners and it's not surprising; this luxurious historic property was once a palace, and it still sits on over 12 lush acres today. But instead of days filled with royal duties, guests here enjoy days filled with rest and relaxation, whether they're spent at the gorgeous spa, in the fine-dining establishments, or in the attractive rooms which come complete with free water and welcome trays. Bathrooms are small and there are few amenities for children, but otherwise it's hard to find fault with this Irish property.

This upscale, über-contemporary hotel has gone to every effort to wow with a focus on funky chic design and a modern, moody vibe. Its smart and snazzy rooms haven't scrimped on comfort, with Egyptian cotton sheets and duck-down duvets. In-room tech also leaves nothing wanting. The hotel's low-lit restaurant is a design gem, while its stylish bar serves excellent cocktails. The location is right in Belfast's city center, and is thus within walking distance to many attractions and transport links. All in all, it's pretty well priced for a property of this caliber, though if it's just a little too hip, check out the Europa Hotel round the corner.

Reliable comfort and central positioning make the mid-range Premier Inn Belfast City Centre (Alfred Street) Hotel a good downtown pick, but don't expect more than the basics here. Near Belfast City Hall and attractions, it draws a mix of corporate and sightseeing travelers, as well as families, particularly since 60 of the 148 rooms sleep four. Their air-conditioned layouts are predictable but pristine, and include desks, kettles, and pillow menus. The on-site bar and restaurant are well-reviewed, as are buffet breakfasts, although mornings get busy. Limited features are reasonable for the price, and families aren't phased by the lack of kid-centric amenities, especially since much of the city's attractions are family-friendly. The Ibis Belfast City Centre is more central and cheaper, although tiny bathrooms reflect the lower rates.

The 56-room Park Avenue Hotel is a small four-pearl property run by the same family for four generations. Located in the east of the city, it isn't particularly convenient for local tourist attractions, but it's a five-minute drive to George Best Belfast City Airport. The on-site restaurant is a fine-dining destination opened in 2015 by celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, and is popular with locals. Decor here is contemporary and off-beat; individually decorated rooms are spacious with luxurious bathrooms while suites offer extras such as gas fireplaces, whirlpool bathtubs, and iPod docks. But rooms don't have minibars, and the free Wi-Fi connection can be a bit slow. A cooked-to-order breakfast and parking are both free. For a property located in the city center, travelers may prefer the contemporary Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast.
