We recognise our responsibility to work towards a sustainable future for all. We are committed to becoming one of the recognised environmentally friendly hotels in Belfast.
As one of the leading hotels in Belfast, we focus on providing great hotel products and services – but we also consider our impact on the environment. We have measures in place to reduce our energy, water consumption and costs and have also made a commitment to reduce our pollution and waste.
We have recently been accredited with the Green Tourism Bronze Award.
The Fitzwilliam Hotel is a five-star luxury hotel situated in the heart of Belfast, beside the Grand Opera House on Great Victoria Street. The site has a history in the entertainment and hospitality arenas. Previously it was the Ritz Cinema and before that it was the Ulster Hotel. We have 146 guest rooms and suites and host visitors from all over the world, who come to Belfast to experience the city, its people and culture.
As one of the leading hotels in Belfast, we are very mindful of our impact on the environment and our responsibility towards our people and the community. We want tourism to be maintained long-term, without having a negative impact on our environment.
The Fitzwilliam Policy.
We will always comply with the law in all our actions and will continuously review our policy.
Here at the Fitzwilliam Hotel, Belfast we recognise that we have a responsibility to our People, Planet and Profit, to work towards a sustainable future for all. We are committed to being an environmentally-friendly hotel in Northern Ireland.
We ask that our guests help us to achieve these goals. Here are some ways you can help.
Hang up your towel in the bathroom to reuse, rather than requesting fresh towels everyday
Recycle any waste that you have and refill water bottles
Use your key card to save energy in the room. Switch off lights and air conditioning when you leave the room.
Charge your mobile phone in the car, as it’s free energy.
Use the stairs instead of lifts. It’s good exercise and reduces energy on lift use.
Use the shower instead of the bath
Turn off the tap when you’re finished brushing your teeth
Use water conservatively when taking a shower or shaving
Only fill the kettle or coffee machine for the water you need
We’re right in the city centre, with everything within walking distance.
Use public transport to get here if possible. If only for one day, walk, cycle or use public transport.
Please don’t litter, and recycle where possible
Leave only your footprints when going for walks
Use local products, shop local and support local communities
