Velvet is a boutique hotel with a bar and a brasserie under it, at the Princess Street end of Canal Street.
The rooms are done individually rather than to one template, and run from compact doubles up to suites and a duplex. The signature balcony rooms on the third floor have outside space looking down onto Canal Street, which is rare enough on that street to be the reason people book them.
The Village Brasserie sits directly behind the hotel and serves through the day. The bar and lounge is quieter than the venues further along, and is somewhere to have a drink rather than a night out.
