Places to stay across Northern Ireland, with the details that decide whether a hotel suits your trip: how you get to and from it without a car, what is within walking distance, parking, and whether it handles weddings and functions.

## Places

### Stormont Hotel

A four-star Hastings hotel with 106 rooms on the Upper Newtownards Road, directly opposite the gates of the Stormont Estate, with Parliament Buildings at the top of the avenue. Glider stops are a few minutes' walk from the door (about 20 to 25 minutes to City Hall, 30 door to door), parking is free, and its ballroom, suites and separate conference centre make it a strong choice for functions.

Cost: On the hotel's own booking engine, flexible rates for two in October 2026 were £130 to £300 a night: a Superior double or twin from £130 room only midweek (£170 with breakfast), up to £260 to £300 for a Junior Suite on a Saturday. Booking direct has a best-rate guarantee and free cancellation until 4pm the day before on flexible rates. | How long: Usually a night or two: a Belfast city break by Glider, a wedding or function in the hotel, or business at Stormont. | Parking: Free for guests: 250 spaces, 9 with EV chargers, and 4 Blue Badge bays about 50 to 70 m from the main entrance.

### Strangford Arms Hotel

A family-run, three-star hotel with 37 bedrooms and free parking on Church Street, Newtownards. The Belfast bus stops right outside (33 to 45 minutes to the city centre), and Ards Shopping Centre, with Boots, Superdrug and Subway, is a three to five minute walk away. It also hosts weddings and functions for 10 to 150 guests.

Cost: We could not get a direct rate in pounds; booking sites showed roughly US$124 to US$192 a night for a standard room in late September 2026. The hotel's own booking page has current prices. Breakfast is priced separately on the current menu (£7.50 to £9.95), so ask whether your rate includes it. | How long: Usually a night or two: a wedding or function in the hotel, work in Newtownards, or a base for Scrabo, Mount Stewart and Strangford Lough. | Parking: Free private parking on site. The number of spaces is not published.
