About
The Malamaison hotel is comparatively new as opposed to the other hotels near the Albert clock memorial. It is made with a new idea in mind. It claims to have started a new trend by using new innovative ideas to make a hotel that stands out from the rest. The main difference is in the dcor. Rather than being classy and understate the hotel uses a style that is wild and provocative. The colours red and black are used in a lot of their dcor. It is called the independent hotel for individual people.
This basically means that it is a hotel that caters mostly to singles rather than people who come for a vacation as couples. It is known for its amazing style and great value with its two new rock and roll suits. Also, it has a bar that is very stylishly done and uses a colour combination of black and silver that gives it a rather foxy appearance. Apart from that it also has the usual laundry services and wireless internet connection in the rooms.
Although it does not have particular child care facilities as people rarely stay in this hotel with children, it does offer the high chair for the children to eat on as well as the extra cot for them.
It is known as a fun place to stay for an exiting time at Belfast.
