Lonely Planet review

The most flamboyant legacy of Belfast's Victorian era is the grandiose 1860 Ulster Bank Building, now home to the Merchant Hotel, this Italianate extravaganza has a portico of soaring columns and sculpted figures depicting Britannia, Justice and Commerce, and iron railings decorated with the Red Hand of Ulster and Irish wolfhounds.
