酒店的外觀影響并促進了源于柏林菲茨威廉的經典主題，而這個主題的關鍵在于將“現代男爵”的室內設計理念與傳統的男爵府邸樣式相結合。

設計師將這種理念進一步應用在貝爾法斯特的菲茨威廉酒店的設計上。再一次借鑒一些國內的傳統類型，大廳的壁爐是最具有象征意義的，創造了舒適的環境，家具都是定做的，在黑色與金色相混合的地毯上擺放著白色皮革沙發。地毯上裝飾圖案的靈感源于字母F。一場對比的游戲開始小心地上演著，奢華的書籍匹配Levanto大理石接待處與方磚地板相輝映，白色涂漆桌子與黑白粗毛地毯相互映襯。

酒店里的私人餐廳具有獨一無二的特色，被紫色透明的窗簾環繞的玻璃樓閣靜置在爐邊，可以俯瞰大廳里一連串的引人注目的金色吊燈，這些吊燈源于Foscarini。未上釉的墻壁呈橡木色，房間的黑色小毛毯上擺放著一個定做的16人會議桌。餐廳椅子上鮑爾史密斯條紋的顏色很有活力，巨大的深紫色定制拐角長椅毗鄰在大廳出口處。

房間的地板也采用黑色圖形主題，這種顏色接近黑色墻壁顏色的同時摻雜了兩個臥室的色系：淡黃色和黃綠色。地毯依然是PO結合大膽的F主題而設計，設計的靈感源于希臘主題的懷舊圖樣。浴室采用黑白色系，地板是黑白色鑲嵌地磚，墻面立著一面巨大的鏡子。幾乎每個房間都可以從床上眺望到城市遠處的貝爾法斯特山。

The look of the hotel plays on and develops the themes originated for the original Fitzwilliam in Dublin, the key one of these being ‘Baronial Moderne' which was coined in reference to an interior design concept that married traditional references to the grand baronial mansion house with a modernistic / deco styling.

In the Fitzwilliam Belfast, we have continued to push this yet further still. Again we have referenced some traditional domestic typologies;the Inglenook in the lobby being the most significant of these, in which we have created a cosy fireside, timber panelled and book lined nook nestling beneath the glass box of the private dining room. Yet within this setting the furnishings are edgy; white leather sofas on a black and gold carpet to our bespoke design, using a deco inspired motif based around the letter ‘F'.

A game of contrast is deliberately played - the drama of the double height lobby against the intimacy of the inglenook, the luxurious book-matched Levanto marble of the reception desk against the quarry tiled floor, white lacquered tables against black and white shag pile rugs.

The private dining room is a unique feature to the hotel, a glazed pavilion shrouded in deep purple sheer curtains poised above the inglenook and overlooking the main lobby with its series of dramatic“Allegro” Gold wire chandeliers by Foscarini. The unglazed walls are oak panelled and the room has a bespoke boardroom table for 16 placed upon a bold geometric bespoke rug. The vibrant colours are echoed in the Paul Smith stripe of the dining chairs and the signature deep purple of the gigantic custom made corner sofa in the adjoining break out lounge.

The bar is deliberately moody and quite dark, tucked away behind the lobby and lined with intimate booths - each of which has a cheeky low window exactly at table height allowing passers by a glimpse of glasses being raised and maybe hands entwined across the table. A notable feature is the burnished brass coffers to the ceiling, a detailed followed through in the brass front to the bar and the retro styled screens between booths.

The restaurant likewise plays with ideas of openness and enclosure- the three distinct rooms being again lined with dining booths and divided by rotating oak mobiles - dynamic screens which diners can spin to open up sneaky views into the neighbouring booth, or close to provide total privacy. Each of the three rooms has a pair of oak refectory tables as the centrepiece above which hang large, feature pendants made to our own bespoke design.

The bold, graphic theme extends to the bedroom floors, which use near black wall panelling juxtaposed with one of two bedroom colour schemes; canary yellow and lime green. Again, the carpet is a bespoke design by PO combining a bold ‘F' motif into a deco inspired pattern reminiscent of a Greek key motif. The bathrooms reduce to a monochrome palette, with daring black and white mosaic tiling set against a giant expanse of mirror. Nearly every bedroom offers a view direct from bed to the Belfast hills beyond the city.

The eighth floor is home to a slick penthouse, believed to be the only two bedroom penthouse in the whole of Northern Ireland and six “studio suites” boasting fabulous open plan layouts where the bedroom flows through into the bathroom past a floor to ceiling wall of windows, with a free standing bath, double walk in shower and a dressing area.

Two boardrooms (East and West) are located on the top floor; these are vaulted, naturally lit spaces with some of the best views in Belfast. The large corner Assembly Room, the largest function room in the hotel offers unparalleled views looking both to the city and towards the hills. The hotel has already been featured in the Times (21.12.08) as one of their 9 ‘hottest hotels for 2009’
