An artist’s impression of what the new Grand Central Hotel in Belfast will look like on completion in 2018

COUNCILLORS last night gave the approval to revised plans for Windsor House, Ireland’s tallest office block which was bought two years ago by the Hastings Hotel group.

The Grand Central Hotel will have 304 bedrooms plus serviced apartments and offices.

The new plans will create the city’s biggest and tallest hotel in Bedford Street.

It will just be a five minute walk from the train and bus station in Great Victoria Street and from Hastings iconic Europa Hotel.
