Dalata Hotel Group has completed construction on its fourth hotel in Northern Ireland, Maldron Hotel Belfast City.

The hotel was officially opened yesterday, 17 May, by Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Nuala McAllister.

She said: "We're welcoming a record number of visitors to Belfast – so I'm delighted to see the Maldron Hotel Belfast City open its doors today. We've made a commitment in the Belfast Agenda to make sure that everyone in Belfast benefits from a thriving and prosperous economy, and the significant growth in tourism is helping to deliver on that objective.

"Tourism is boosting our economy and offering Belfast people rewarding career options. So I'd also like to pay tribute to the Dalata Hotel Group for their vision in partnering with us to deliver a Hotel Employment Academy to help people who are currently out of work develop their skills and find jobs." 

John Hennessy, Chairman of Dalata Hotel Group, added: "Maldron Belfast City has been built with the business and leisure markets both at the forefront of our minds. We are confident that we can offer an unrivalled level of hospitality and service for all our visitors in the years to come."

This project is Dalata's first opening of the year, with three more due to open in Dublin and Cork.
