At least 100 people waiting for their asylum claim in Northern Ireland will be impacted.
The government announced its plans to end contracts with 50 hotels across the UK by the end of the year.
Currently there are about 400 hotels being used to house asylum seekers across the UK; 363 are in England, 10 in Scotland and two in Wales.Mears, a Home Office contractor for accommodation, said at least one hundred asylum seekers will be impacted by the closures.In an email from the Home Office, seen by the BBC, Northern Ireland's MPs were told: "Residents currently accommodated in the hotel will be moving to other parts of our asylum estate.
"They will be notified a minimum of five days in advance and moved by the Home Office in line with our existing published policies. "Whilst we expect impacts on local authorities to be minimal, we are putting in place additional resource to work with our accommodation providers and local partners to manage this process and minimise disruption, particularly focusing on families."
It continued: "As the Home Office ends the use of asylum hotels, we will continue to work with you to increase the supply of dispersal accommodation in line with your regional plan.
