Build at Belfast International Airport: Whitbread (Premier Inn parent) has committed to a new 81-bedroom Premier Inn at Belfast International Airport, with construction expected to start in 2025 and open around mid-2026. This follows a lease agreement signed with JHT Hotels Limited and planning permission granted in 2024. The project aims to bring Premier Inn to Northern Ireland’s busiest airport and create about 30 local jobs.[1][3]

Context of expansion: This Belfast airport hotel is part of Whitbread’s broader airport strategy, which has seen the company add hundreds of Premier Inn rooms at UK and Ireland airports since 2024, aligning with a goal to expand to more airport locations and increase total rooms across the UK & Ireland.[2][3][1]

Local Belfast options: Premier Inn currently operates several Belfast hotels (e.g., city center properties such as Belfast City Cathedral Quarter and Belfast City Centre on Alfred Street) serving visitors to the city with centralized locations near main transport hubs and tourist sites.[7][9]
