Harrison Chambers of Distinction

Northern Ireland

Investment Fund for Northern Ireland

Facilitated by Whiterock, a £160k loan from the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland has enabled Melanie Harrison, the owner of the Harrison Chambers of Distinction, a Bohemian Boutique Hotel in Belfast, to acquire an adjoining Victorian townhouse property.

The hotel currently comprises 16 elegant rooms, each with their own theme and celebrating a person of note from Northern Ireland, such as writer C.S. Lewis and singer, Ruby Murray.

The development will see the hotel, which currently employs 12 staff, expand into the adjoining property with the addition of 11 more suites along with improved kitchen and dining space, a piano lounge and communal areas.
