The Best Eco Friendly Boutique Hotels in Ireland in 2026

Across from the Titanic Experience and those Belfast icons, the Harland & Wolff cranes, the Titanic Hotel gets close to gimmicky in a few places but swerves at the last minute. The ship itself was built there just there, in the Harland & Wolff shipyards, so it’s hard to accuse the hotel of gimmickry, to be fair.
