United KingdomEverything! Room was lovely. We had a meal in the restaurant which was out of this world and unbelievably priced, i would have paid double the amount we paid for the meal as it was that good!
United KingdomStaff are outstanding in terms of professionalism and friendliness!
IrelandIt is in a very central location. Food excellent. Very comfortable and well decorated rooms. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Micheal and to Laura who made our stay very enjoyable. This hotel is second to none.
United KingdomAppreciated the valet parking option. Very impressed with the check in where the receptionist looking at how disabled my wife was changed our room at no extra cost for a disabled friendly and well equipped room on the first floor in the hotel. Very helpful concierge who put the luggage in our room and organised a taxi for our restaurant in the evening. Nice light lunch in the bar eating area and good breakfast.
United KingdomThe receptionist Stephanie is just an amazing, friendly and helpful person who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Credit is also due to Micheal & Ciaran who were also very helpful and friendly. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, spotless and the location is great.
IrelandWhen we arrived we were greeted with such kindness, it was like we had stayed before! Our room was amazing, so clean and tidy and the seal they have on the key slot to show it hasn't been entered since it was sanitised was a great reassurance. The breakfast was absolutely unreal, I couldn't stop going on about it to my partner and he was sitting right in front of me!!
IrelandIt’s location was perfect and the staff were great. The food and selection of drinks was class and served beautifully and tasted good too.

History of Bishop’s Gate Hotel In 1880 the Northern Counties Club was formed in the city by members of the local gentry who had served during the Crimean War. Originally meeting in No. 3 St. Columb’s Court the popularity of the club necessitated the purchase of larger premises and so at the end of the 19th Century the present building,was acquired for £1200. Renowned architect Alfred A Forman was responsible for remodelling the building and the club then opened its doors in 1902. It featured a billiards room, library and catering facilities with accommodation provided later and offered a base for businessmen and intellects of the city to meet and discuss ideas and plans with which to develop the city’s industries. Throughout the years of use by the Northern Counties Club there have been many famous visitors – including Winston Churchill, W.B. Yeats, Field Marshalls Montgomery and Alexander and artist Derek Hill. Through sympathetic restoration of the original and adjoining buildings, this unique venue which is now Bishop’s Gate Hotel,a Grade B1 listed hotel, retains its character, period charms and its historic splendour.
