Discover our UNESCO City of Music in Comfort!

Come relax in the comfortable surroundings of The Harrison hotel to enjoy an engaging new music experience, that combines storytelling, music, and hospitality! Located in the Queen's Quarter of Belfast, the intimate experience comprises an engaging 'virtual' Belfast music tour, followed by an exclusive guided tour of several of the hotel's uniquely themed rooms.

The Harrison is a character-filled Victorian building, with original interior designs, on the Malone Road. After arriving at the hotel's reception area, guests will be welcomed and led to the hotel's music room to settle down with a complimentary soft drink. The virtual Belfast music tour begins with experienced tour guide and music specialist, Dolores sharing stories of many legendary musicians, bands and historic music moments of Belfast - the only designated UNESCO City of Music on the island. The stories are accompanied by audio and video clips of performances by a range of great artists.

The experience continues with a guided tour led by Melanie, the hotel proprietor, giving guests exclusive access to several uniquely themed rooms. The hotel rooms and suites have been specially dedicated to artists across a range of genres - including Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Ruby Murray, Valentine Rennie and Ottilie Patterson. In each room, memorabilia and design have been carefully curated by Melanie to celebrate each artist and connections between Belfast and global music culture. Each of the artists that a hotel room is dedicated to features in the music presentation.

Dynamic, engaging and fun, the 90-minute tour will conclude in the hotel's striking Napoleon's Nose, where visitors may choose to linger to enjoy the hospitality of The Harrison.

The scheduled tours take place once a month on a Sunday 12-1.30pm.
