ARROL & ABERCORN TOWERS, TITANIC QUARTER · BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND · 2009 · HARCOURT
DEVELOPMENT · Rising high above the River Lagan, the Arrol and Abercorn towers stand like sentinels, guarding
memories of men and machines that once laboured there. Standing alongside the historic slipways, the Arrol Tower
recalls the mass of the famous gantry, built to cradle the Olympic class liners. Like them it offers a 1st class service,
treating guests within its 233 hotel rooms to bars, spas, restaurants and retail, climaxing with a rooftop pool. The
Abercorn Tower is an equally luxurious address, containing 253 apartments within its streamlined two-hull plan. The
sweeping form of its glass rain screen captures the profile of liners’ bows, as they sat perched upon their bow blocks
prior to launch.
