testimonials

"My expectations were exceeded. It is no wonder Fitzwilliam Belfast has won so many accolades. Luxury is often associated with amenities but in my humble opinion the most important amenity is hospitality. Hospitality is the number one amenity of your hotel. You should be very proud of your staff. Your leadership is profoundly demonstrated by the welcoming spirit of the entire staff. I pledge my loyalty to you and your staff. I look forward to sending our clients and knowing they will be taken care of like family."
