"The latest jewel in the crown of Belfast hospitality king Bill Wolsey, the man behind the five-star Merchant Hotel and a host of right-on pubs." Full review

The Guardian "The Bullitt (doubles from £89) is reasonably priced, right in the city centre, with DJ nights, pop-ups and a relaxed feel"
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"The Bullitt is a haven for the hip, with super-fast wi-fi, smart TVs, an espresso bar, restaurant and two bars (one of them ski-themed) – there's even Bullitt beer on tap." Full review
Independent "This hotel is a tribute to Steve McQueen. And it’s a great escape indeed, impressively pulling off retro appeal without descending into kitsch. Rooms come in “dinky”, “comfy” and “roomy” sizes"
