AC Hotel Belfast

While in Belfast, we have been staying at the AC Hotel Belfast, in the Titanic Quarter:

According to Wikipedia, "Titanic Quarter...is a large-scale waterfront regeneration, comprising historic maritime landmarks, film studios, education facilities, apartments, a riverside entertainment district, and the world's largest Titanic-themed attraction centered on land in Belfast Harbour, known until 1995 as Queen's Island. The 185-acre (75 ha) site, previously occupied by part of the Harland and Wolff shipyard, is named after the company's, and the city's, most famous product, RMS Titanic."

Not far from the AC Hotel Belfast is Titanic Belfast, the museum for all things Titanic (allegedly; we didn't actually get a chance to go):

The hotel lobby wasn't anything to write home about, but this hanging sculpture was kinda interesting:

The on-site Novelli restaurant was mentioned in a previous post. It was pretty good. Breakfasts were buffet-style English hot breakfasts, plus nowadays they add things like vegetables, fruit, yogurt, and even chia pudding. The highlight of the restaurant, however, is the morning waiter named Billy: a small, white-haired, twinkling-blue-eyes elf of a man, who will lean in to conspiratorially whisper delicious gossip right into your ear--unfortunately, in an accent that is often hard to fully parse. He's a man of the people, is Billy. There was a recent lottery winning of £38 million, and he was outraged that it went to only one person! He felt there should be 38 winners; after all, £1 million is more than enough for anyone.

Now to our room. Here is a photo of one similar to ours:
