Find stays near The O2 Belfast on the map ↓The O2 Belfast makes an arena night or Belfast Giants game a good reason to stay on both sides of the River Lagan. A Titanic Quarter room keeps the hotel in the arena's part of the city; a central Belfast room puts the wider city evening first, with a planned crossing to Queen's Quay. This is the Belfast venue formerly known as the SSE Arena, not The O2 in London. Use the current Belfast name and full address when matching tickets, transport and accommodation.
FIND YOUR BASE
A room on Queen's Road keeps the stay in Titanic Quarter, giving the arena and the surrounding maritime district a shared place in the weekend.
Good for: An arena-focused Belfast stay.
Before you choose: Queen's Road and the Queen's Quay arena entrance are different addresses; inspect the final route rather than relying on the district name.
A Great Victoria Street hotel supports the central Belfast version of the trip, with restaurants and city sights around the room.
Good for: A broader Belfast break with one arena event.
Before you choose: The arena is across the river at Queen's Quay, so plan the journey back against that evening's services.

FAMILY BREAKS
W5 at Queen's Quay gives families hands-on discovery alongside the arena visit. It requires pre-booking and has seasonal opening days, so choose a proper daytime slot.
ROMANTIC BREAKS
The arena links to Translink's late-night information, but those services do not imply an identical return after every event. Check your actual date and route before choosing a central room.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Keep the first evening for the arena and use a separate daytime session for W5, with the river crossing determined by where you sleep.
Leave travel bags at the hotel by arrangement and make the Queen's Quay route clear before the event.
Use the current ticket instructions for the concert or Giants game, allowing time for screening and the correct entrance.
For a family extension, use a pre-booked daytime session for W5's interactive spaces before collecting luggage and travelling onward.
Less time? For a short arena-only stay, keep the event and a meal near the hotel; omit W5 unless its session and your departure fit comfortably.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Yes. The venue now presents itself as The O2 Belfast at 2 Queen's Quay, retaining its Belfast Giants and live-event programme. Old photographs and directions may still use SSE or Odyssey branding.
The venue warns that screenshots do not work for its mobile-ticket entry. Prepare the ticket through the required app or wallet before leaving the hotel, following the instructions for your booking.
The arena excludes backpacks, holdalls and rucksacks, even when small, and limits permitted bags to its published small-bag size. Arrange storage for overnight luggage before heading to Queen's Quay.
No. The shared Odyssey car park, including its accessible spaces, operates first come, first served. It uses number-plate recognition, and the venue warns that leaving after busy events can take time.
The venue identifies the accessible event entrance to the right of the main doors. Confirm any assistance or seating arrangements directly before travelling, rather than relying only on the hotel's access information.
Research-led base comparisons, not firsthand reviews. Event tickets and accommodation are booked separately.
