Regency House Awarded Northern Ireland’s First Michelin Guide Key
A huge congratulations to our friends and clients at Regency House on being awarded a Michelin Guide Key — the only property in Northern Ireland to be recognised with such a prestigious honour.
We had the pleasure of working with the Regency House team over the past two years on repositioning the property as a hospitality house — a place that brings together beautifully designed rooms, a contemporary restaurant, elegant event spaces, and a soon-to-launch members’ club. It’s been inspiring to see their vision come to life, and we’re absolutely thrilled to see them recognised by such an iconic global brand like Michelin.
The MICHELIN Key, launched as part of the MICHELIN Guide’s 2025 International Hotel Selection, celebrates the best-of-the-best in global hospitality — the hotel equivalent of the MICHELIN Star.
In its official review, The MICHELIN Guide praised Regency House for perfectly encapsulating “Belfast’s ongoing cultural and architectural renaissance”, describing it as “a haven of modern-day luxury inside a beautiful Georgian building.”
Located in the heart of Belfast’s Queen’s Quarter, Regency House has been meticulously restored and reimagined as a five-star boutique townhouse — a place where heritage meets modern refinement. The property forms part of a wider four-year regeneration project to revive the Crescent area, with Regency House leading the way in redefining Northern Irish hospitality.
Reflecting on the partnership, Ryan Crown, Creative Director at Crown Creative, said:
“It’s been such a joy working with the Regency House team over the last couple of years — from rebranding and the new website to a whole suite of collateral, restaurant branding, and various activations. It’s been brilliant to see the brand come to life, but to now see it recognised by one of the leading names in our industry is a testament to the incredible team at Regency House.”
Matty Butler, Senior Designer at Crown Creative, added:
“It’s been a joy to work on a project that feels so contemporary and modern but has such rich history and heritage to lean on. It’s been a real team effort across Crown — from strategy and brand to web — and we’re excited to continue the partnership with the Regency House team as they keep building on this success.”
At Crown Creative, we’re proud to have played a part in the Regency story — helping shape its identity, positioning, and guest experience through thoughtful storytelling and design. This award is a well-deserved recognition of the team’s vision, dedication, and hospitality at the very highest level.
Congratulations once again to everyone at Regency House — a true Northern Irish icon holding the key to world-class hospitality.
