Andras Hotels, the Belfast-based hotel operator, is set to open the first Crowne Plaza hotel in Northern Ireland.

The group intend to invest £1.5million over the next eighteen months converting the 120-bedroom Ramada Plaza Shaw’s Bridge into a Crowne Plaza property.

The new Crowne Plaza is set in Lagan Valley Regional Park on the edge of south Belfast.

The Andras portfolio also includes the 250-bedroom Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre and the 114-bedroom Holiday Inn Express Belfast City in the city’s Queen's Quarter plus the 124-bedroom Ibis Belfast City Centre and the 56-bedroom Ibis Belfast Queen's Quarter.
