Tempo by Hilton Belfast City Centre, the first Tempo hotel in Europe, is set to open under a franchise agreement with Loughview Leisure Group.
The city of Belfast is poised to welcome Europe’s first Tempo by Hilton Hotel. The forthcoming hotel, Tempo by Hilton Belfast City Centre, marks the international debut of Hilton’s lifestyle brand following its successful launch in the United States. The hotel is part of a franchise agreement with Loughview Leisure Group.
The new Tempo by Hilton Belfast City Centre is part of Hilton’s ongoing commitment to increase its presence in Northern Ireland. The company, which has seen nearly 30 years of success in the region, plans to open three new properties in 2025, effectively doubling Hilton’s room count across the country over the next 12 months.
The 144-room Tempo by Hilton Belfast City Centre, set to occupy a formerly vacant office building, will offer accommodation tailored to the modern, ambitious traveler. The hotel will feature a fully equipped fitness center and thoughtfully designed guest rooms focused on comfort and well-being.
Located near the Cathedral Quarter and Belfast City Hall, the hotel will offer easy access to the city’s top attractions. Transport links are also conveniently close, with two airports within a 25-minute drive. The hotel is expected to open towards the end of 2026.
Nick Smart, vice president, development, UK and Ireland, Hilton, said, “Northern Ireland has a rich heritage and rapidly growing international appeal. We’re committed to ensuring that every traveler has access to a high-quality hotel to suit their needs.”
Chris Kearney, group finance director, Loughview Leisure Group, said, “As we look to further shape the city’s hospitality scene, we are delighted to partner with Hilton, increasing Northern Ireland’s global appeal and pioneering new brands like Tempo by Hilton to attract new guests looking to experience everything Belfast has to offer.”
