Overview of the luxury item
Overview
The Merchant Hotel is located in the beautiful Cathedral Quarter, which is rich in culture and history. For example, did you know in the 18th century Belfast was known as the “Boston of the North” because of the actions of radical Presbyterians, who as members of the United Irishmen attempted to unite Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter. In fact located diagonally opposite The Merchant Hotel is Sugarhouse Entry, where the United Irishmen met in Peggy Barclay’s Benjamin Franklin Tavern. Next to Sugarhouse Entry is the Commercial Building, nowadays known as The Northern Whig. It was opened in 1820 and replaced four thatched cottages, one of which was a woollen drapers shop owned by the famous United Irishman Samuel Neilson. Nearby at the junction of Waring Street, Donegall Street, North Street and Bridge Street you’ll find the oldest part of the city. Dubbed the Four Corners, it was from here that all milestones from Belfast were measured. The Concierge would be delighted to arrange a walking tour of the area for you, taking in all points of historical interest.
