For corporate travellers, four meeting rooms will provide space for events and networking
Real estate investor and developer Lamington Group has officially announced its new Room2 Belfast hometel, the fourth outpost, and first property outside England, is set to open its doors on 16 October.
The new property will consist of 175 rooms across nine floors as well as a café, tea room, meeting and event spaces, a gym, bar, restaurant and a lounge available for both guests and locals.
As well as mattress menus and 24-hour stays with check in at 2pm and check out at 2pm as standard, Lamington said the building will have a laundry room, and co-working areas. Each bedroom will feature a fully equipped kitchenette and separate living space.
It added this offering is designed to “appeal equally to corporate and leisure guests looking for a vibrant and comfortable stay in the heart of the city, where they can truly feel at home”.
For corporate travellers, four meeting rooms will provide space for events and networking, whilst the various workspaces give the seclusion often sought out in city hotels.
Keeping in line with Lamington Group’s commitment to sustainability, the fully electric Room2 Belfast includes occupancy-enabled rooms, two lab rooms, solar energy generation 100% renewable energy, local sourcing of materials, products and artwork.
The building will have 100% of its embodied carbon rebalanced to zero on completion, and 100% of any operational carbon will be rebalanced to zero on an annual basis. This environmentally conscious approach comes amid Lamington Group’s commitment to be net zero by 2030.
Michelle Thomas, Lamington Group’s new openings manager, said: “We are so excited to expand our portfolio and open our biggest hometel to date in the vibrant city of Belfast. We want our hometel to provide a place of comfort for both locals and tourists, further making our mark in the hometel sector of the hospitality industry.”
