- Yvonne McIlree, Director of Sales and Marketing
- Sharon Dunne, Revenue Manager

Mike Gatt, General Manager of The Bedford, said: “The creation of our commercial team is a hugely exciting milestone for The Bedford. Each appointment brings exceptional knowledge of the hospitality market in Northern Ireland, and together we are laying the foundations for long-term success. Our ambition is not just to open a hotel, but to grow a team that will deliver excellence for our guests, our partners, and for Belfast as a destination. This is the beginning of a journey we are incredibly proud to lead.”
We are proud to support The Bedford with this transformative renovation, which will see the 1904 Edwardian building reimagined as a boutique hotel, featuring 82 bedrooms, a destination restaurant, private dining spaces, and a café bar. Beyond its luxury offering, The Bedford is set to become a creative hub, rediscovering the spirit that once propelled Belfast while showcasing craftsmanship, heritage, and contemporary design.
Situated in the Linen Quarter close to Belfast City Hall, The Bedford forms part of the wider regeneration of the city centre and is expected to enrich Belfast’s growing appeal as a world-class visitor destination.
