voco® Belfast Climbs TripAdvisor Rankings Thanks to Cliste Hospitality’s Visionary Leadership
From Rank 45 to 17 in Under a Year—A Remarkable Turnaround for One of Belfast’s Most Exciting Hotel Destinations
voco® Belfast, part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts family, is making headlines in the Northern Ireland hospitality scene. Since Cliste Hospitality took over management in November 2023, the hotel has undergone a striking transformation—rising from rank 45 to an impressive 17 out of 51 hotels in Belfast on TripAdvisor.
This success story is more than just a number. It’s a symbol of what intelligent hotel management, strategic vision, and operational excellence can achieve in today’s competitive hospitality landscape.

A Transformation Rooted in Strategy and Style
When Cliste Hospitality stepped in, voco® Belfast was in need of revitalisation. Through a comprehensive refurbishment and strategic rebranding to voco Hotels, the property was elevated to meet modern guest expectations. This included enhancements to guest rooms, communal areas, F&B offerings, and operational efficiency—bringing both aesthetics and service standards in line with IHG’s globally trusted brand.
Today, voco® Belfast attracts both leisure travellers seeking a stylish city break and corporate guests looking for premium amenities in a prime location.
