Hastings Hotels is this Christmas inviting people to shift the focus from material possessions to memorable experiences.
In a holiday season marked by meaningful connections, the Hastings Hotels Gift Card isn’t just a token but an opportunity to explore the rich tapestry of Northern Ireland’s culture, history and luxury offerings.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, recipients can choose an Experience Gift Card and access a range of experiences tailored to individual tastes and preferences – from overnight stays and spa treatments to afternoon teas and gourmet dining experiences.
With a monetary gift card, recipients have the freedom to create their bespoke experience at any one of the group’s six properties at their own leisure and with no expiry date.
The Hastings Hotels portfolio is situated in some of Northern Ireland’s most iconic locations and includes:
Ballygally Castle – A Blend of History and Mystery:
Nestled in Game of Thrones territory, Ballygally Castle marries 17th-century charm with modern luxury. Uncover historical secrets, coastal wonders, and perhaps encounter the enigmatic Lady Isabella Brisbane’s ghost.
The Grand Central – Belfast’s Skyline Spectacle:
Standing tall in the heart of Belfast, The Grand Central offers a panoramic view of the city’s iconic skyline. From the Seahorse Restaurant’s new tasting menu to the Observatory’s 360-degree vistas, it’s a celebration of Belfast’s allure.
The Culloden Estate and Spa – A Retreat Rich in History:
Nestled between bustling Belfast and the Co Down coast, The Culloden provides an immersive retreat with a historical touch. Guests can explore nearby attractions like Crawfordsburn Country Park with its two beautiful beaches or savour the hotel’s relaxing spa experiences.
Europa Hotel – Belfast’s Enduring Icon:

A serene escape in the north-west, The Everglades Hotel combines tranquility with easy access to Derry’s cultural richness.
