Standing in the Titanic Quarter at Belfast, a Titanic themed hotel is a good idea. As of today November 25th 2017, this new hotel has been opened only a few weeks. The hotel stands literally next door to the Belfast Titanic museum. Belfast is the birthplace of Titanic.
The hotel is beautiful inside and contains many ideas and tributes to the doomed ship. It was our first stop when we flew in to Belfast. The hotel has been redeveloped from the old Drawing Offices of Titanic ship builder Harland and Wolff at the docks.
We were shown around by a wonderful doorman named William who is a credit to the hotel and a real Irish gentleman. He was dressed in traditional dock workers outer wear of cap and coat.
The links to the Titanic were quite moving and we felt very privileged to be there.

I drink filtered water at home. never tap water . It is full of bleach and cleaning agents.
Frank, Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous tap-water drinking observation and question.
It's what I imagined as indicative of the British Isles-ers, who impressed tennis champion Arthur Ashe (Jul 10, 1943-Feb. 6, 1993) with their love of flowers, manners and traditions.
The aforementioned trio links with environmental health and respect, might one say?
Tap water in the UK is of good quality
The sixth in-text image, Edwardian style light shades, appeals to me.
The uneven ending to the lampshade fringe gives such an attractive look.
Might that fringe only be popular today for historic, retro, traditional looks or might it only be found in historic sites and museums?
Your comment below exactly two years ago -- ! ;-D -- on May 6, 2022, comes to mind as I look again at your wizzlies such as this one.
That comment indicated that "I would rather have plain water than a coffee of any variety."
Is that "plain water" from a bottle or from the tap?
This question owes its origin to the 2018 film El angel, about Argentina's and South America's longest-serving -- 51-plus years as of 2024! -- inmate. Carlitos pulls off an escape that puts him in a friend's house, where he relishes a long, tap-water drink.
I was told never to take tap water whenever I was outside the United States.
Which would be true: tap-water as drinkable or as non-drinkable in the British Isles?
Ty. That is very interesting and helpful information.
No offence to our lovely American friends on here, but I could not drink those coffees you detail.
Thanks, Veronica.
It's looking like internet sources agree to disagree but predominantly agree on 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) as the liquid measurement of a shot.
Chai latte is a Starbucks product that makes black concentrated tea in milk boiled with spices such as cinnamon and cloves and with a shot of espresso coffee added.
It seems to be quite popular here so I thought I might try to make it myself and, if it turns out ;-D then I'll know why it has its appeal. If it doesn't turn out -- since I have on hand coffee grounds, milk, spices and tea -- then I won't have bought something that I'll wish I hadn't.
Espresso coffee may be made with a special coffeemaker. Starbucks sells espresso grounds among its other bagged products that you measure into the filter basket for the water to pour into and through to the beaker of the coffeemaker.
Hi
I am sorry to come late to this but I had not seen it and I do apologise.
Unfortunately, I do not drink any coffee. I do not actually know what an espresso is at all or a chai latte. Therefore I cannot help. I would rather have plain water than a coffee of any variety.
Revisiting this wizzley and the wizzley A Nice Cup of Tea by your brother calls to mind something that I'm considering concerning tea and that I have some questions for you and your brother (I already asked him in the comments section of the above-mentioned wizzley).
Starbucks has a chai latte with a shot of espresso. I'd like to try a homemade version of boiled milk with chai (black, green or some other tea?) and a shot of espresso.
How much would you interpret a shot as in liquid measurement? And what would you use for spices (Starbucks uses cinnamon, cloves and unspecified "other" spices)?
The tiles in the bar have been locked away in boxes for over 00 years and hadn't seen the light. The only others like these are at the bottom of the Atlantic. It was very moving emotionally .
