A five-star Titanic themed hotel is to be created at the old headquarters of the Belfast shipyard where the doomed liner was built.
A planning application has been lodged to turn the former Harland & Wolff headquarters - a listed building - into a 90-bedroom boutique hotel reports the BBC. The building, at Queen's Island in east Belfast, will feature a swimming pool, gym and spa facilities.
The hotel is part of the redevelopment of 185 acres of former shipyard land. The area is now known as the Titanic Quarter in memory of the liner which sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, with the loss of more than 1,500 lives.
