Welcome to the southside

The 1852 Hotel is situated in the Queens Quarter of Belfast - a vibrant neighbourhood full of art, culture, history, great food and nightlife. Nicknamed 'The Food and Drink Quarter' - Botanic Avenue is stacked full of buzzing bars and restaurants, hipster cafés, and quirky independent takeaways - including Town Square, Southside Social and Lucky Duck Chinese, all located on the ground floor of the hotel.

We are within walking distance of Queens University Belfast, Botanic Gardens, Ormeau Park and The Ulster Museum. The closest train station (Botanic) is directly opposite our building, so getting around the whole city is a breeze.
