At room2, we’re redefining hospitality by building some of the UK’s most sustainable hotels. To give you a glimpse of what makes us unique, our CEO, Robert Godwin, is taking you behind the scenes on a tour of room2 Belfast. Rated No. 1 on TripAdvisor within its first few weeks of opening, this hometel is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

Here are the 5 top things you might not know about your stay at room2 Belfast:

1. Our commitment to sustainability

Sustainability is woven into every detail of your stay, even if it’s not always visible. Many of our fixtures and fittings are made from recycled materials, including carpets crafted from discarded fishing nets. Even the smallest touches, like reusable market bags and refillable milk bottles, reflect our mission to reduce waste and create a sustainable future.

2. Carbon neutral and 100% renewable energy

Every part of our hotel is focused on reducing waste and maximising efficiency. We’re proud to be powered entirely by renewable energy, from our rooftop solar panels, air source heat pump, and renewable electricity purchase commitment. For emissions we cannot eliminate, we offset carbon through global tree-planting projects, ensuring your stay is completely carbon neutral.

3. We support our local community

We believe in strengthening the communities we’re part of, which is why we work with local artists, craftspeople and businesses. Check out our bespoke artwork from Belfast’s creative talent, such as hand-painted murals by Alana McDowell and wardrobe prints by Jamie Beard.

4. Prioritising your health and wellbeing

Your well-being is at the heart of everything we do. Our rooms are decorated with low-VOC paints and cleaned using natural, eco-friendly products – creating a safe, chemical-free atmosphere throughout our hometel. In Winnie’s Café, we serve locally sourced and organic food, with over 50% of our menu being vegetarian or vegan. With on-site gyms, pet-friendly policies, and spaces that promote relaxation, we’ve created a healthy environment for you.

5. Designed for your comfort and flexibility

Our rooms are crafted with your comfort in mind. Whether you’re here for business, leisure, or family time, you’ll feel right at home. You can cook fresh, healthy meals in your in-room kitchenette and even choose your mattress type for the best night’s sleep. We’ve designed spaces that adapt to your needs, giving you the freedom to stay on your terms.

At room2, we make it effortless for our guests to contribute to a better planet without sacrificing comfort. We believe the future of hospitality is responsible hospitality, and we’re excited to have you join us on this journey.
