Can't help on hotels etc. as it's ages since I've been. However UTV ran a top ten series last year which should give some pointers. http://www1.u.tv/newsroom/indepth.asp?pt=e&id=13033
I would recommend a visit to the Crown Bar. It's owned by the National Trust and was recently restored to its former glory. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main...nliquorsaloon/

The Crown Bar is a great place to visit and have a drink. The food we had was worse than awful! Maybe it was just the day but I would never recommend eating there.
I'll e-mail the oldest who live in NI and see what he recommends. He fancies himself a bit of a foodie. Do the double decker tourist bus. It was really good especially since we had a catholic giving the narration and took the protestant mother-in-law. Best fun we had all year!

The OP may find useful hotel recommendations in this thread, about a recent FT mini-do in Belfast among bmi regulars.

I think you main issue is likely to be price. The Malmaison is a lovely property, and would be my preference but can be expensive. I have stayed at the Jury's Inn which was acceptable. There's also a nice Radisson and a couple of boutique places.
If you can, get yourself up the Antrim coast for a few hours. It's gorgeous.
