The AC Hotel by Marriott Belfast celebrated an exceptional November after securing two prestigious awards. The hotel was recognised as a finalist in the Restaurant of the Year Category at the GNI Magazine Awards and also won the Editor’s Choice Award at the Firmus Energy Local Women Magazine Business Awards 2024.
Renowned for a fantastic dining experience at Novelli’s, led by celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, the hotel continues to set the benchmark for outstanding hospitality in Belfast.
These accolades build on the hotel’s earlier success this year, having won the Global Marriott Award for Account Focused Sales Team (Franchise). They demonstrate the commitment of the hotel’s staff to excellence in hospitality and dining, while also reflecting its positive impact on the local community.
Paula Stuart, General Manager of AC Hotel by Marriott Belfast, expressed her pride in the team and the recognition. Paula said:
“These awards are a testament to the dedication, professionalism and customer focus of our team, who work tirelessly to ensure every guest enjoys a memorable experience. We are thrilled to be recognised not only for our outstanding restaurant but also as a beacon of hospitality in Belfast. Winning the Local Women Magazine Editor’s Choice Award is an honour and reflects the unique spirit and warmth of our staff.”

The staff at AC Hotel by Marriot Belfast are its biggest asset. They are skilled professionals but always find time to chat and really are a delight. The hotel is a home from home for the tourists and business travellers who flock to the city and all leave with a great impression of our hospitality.”
