Like any major city, Newcastle-upon-Tyne has many places for both business and leisure travellers to stay. These vary from de-luxe (and expensive) hotels to modest (and reasonably priced) guest houses, with a full spectrum in between. While accommodation can be found throughout the city, there are two main areas: the City Centre, and Osborne Road in Jesmond.

The City Centre

There are several hotels in the heart of the city, most of which cater for business travellers by offering services such as conference facilities, or the hire of rooms or suites for conducting meetings or interviews. The Copthorne, a recently built luxury hotel in the redeveloped Quayside area fronting the River Tyne, as well as having its own pool, fitness club, and the usual facilities you would expect of a four star hotel, can host conferences for up to 250 people. Other Quayside hotels include the Malmaison (see picture), which has a fashionable brasserie, open to non-residents, and the smaller Waterside Hotel.

There are half a dozen quality hotels within two or three minutes walk from Newcastle Central railway station, including the Royal Station Hotel, which adjoins it. Just across the road is the County Thistle, and a short distance away, near the Moot Hall and the castle keep, is the Vermont. The Chasley Hotel with its rooftop bar and restaurant, and the Surtees are all close by. All of these hotels welcome business guests as well as tourists. A little further from the station, but still well within the city centre is the Forte Posthouse, which boasts its own gymnasium and a swimming pool.

Jesmond

This pleasant residential suburb, only five minutes drive from the city centre, has over two dozen hotels in a localised area. At the top end of the market are the Swallow Imperial Hotel and Whites Hotel, both of which have conference facilities. However, there are numerous hotels in the moderate and inexpensive price brackets too, all of them offering perfectly good standards of accommodation and food, as well as catering for business and holiday travellers. A selection of these hotels includes - the Cairn, the Gresham, Comfort Inn Carlton, Grosvenor Hotel, the Osborne Hotel, the Rosebery, the Queens, the Dene, and the Kenilworth. For those on a tight budget, or who prefer something a little less luxurious, Newcastle's Youth Hostel can be found in Jesmond.

Other Areas

One of Newcastle's finest hotels, the Marriott Gosforth Park, is situated in pleasant countryside next to Newcastle Racecourse and Northumberland Golf Club, just a few miles from the city centre. This hotel caters for conferences and training seminars, and is a popular venue for wedding receptions. A little further from the centre, and part of the Newcastle Airport complex, is the Britannia Hotel which hosts conferences, and has its own gymnasium. Other quality hotels away from the city centre include the Novotel, and the Toby Carvery, both in Kenton, and the Newcastle Hilton in Wallsend. The coastal resort areas of Tynemouth, Cullercoats and Whitley Bay boast hotels such as the Grand, and the Rex. You will also find countless inexpensive guest houses and bed and breakfast establishments. For those looking for accommodation away from the metropolitan area, but within reasonable commuting distance of the city, hotels such as the Linden Hall Hotel and Health Spa near Morpeth, the Gibside in Whickham, and the Slaley Hall hotel and Golf Complex in Hexham (which boasts two Championship Golf Courses, a health, leisure and beauty centre, and conference facilities) are just some of the establishments that offer excellent alternatives.

Future Developments

Confirming the growing reputation of Tyneside as a destination for leisure and business travellers alike, more prestigious hotels are planned. A 50 bed luxury hotel is being constructed in a renovated building in Grey Street.

Castle


11th-century castle
The Society of Antiquaries
Castle Keep, Castle Garth
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE1 8QN
United Kingdom
+44 191 232 7938
The 'New Castle' from which the city derives its name was founded in 1080 by Robert Curthose, son of William the Conqueror, on the site of a Roman fort. It was originally a fortified enclosure of clay and wood, but was rebuilt in stone in the late 12th/early 13th century. Added to the site at this time were the keep, a gatehouse, and an enclosing wall. Visitors will see the keep's two Royal accommodation suites, a public hall, a private room, the garrison room, and a Norman chapel. The castle roof offers a spectacular - and once privileged - view of Newcastle, particularly the nearby river Tyne and its bridges. Because the castle retains the steep steps from years gone by, there is no disabled access.

Formerly the Quality Hotel, the Chasley is in the very heart of Newcastle's city centre, and therefore couldn't be more conveniently placed for public transport, shops, and nightlife. Looking further afield, both the coast and Gateshead Metro Centre are within five miles. It's a modern and comfortable three-star hotel which has a choice of two bars, but the large (120 seat) rooftop bar and restaurant do offer some striking views across the city. In addition the hotel provides regular live entertainment.

City Centre


Newcastle upon Tyne
United Kingdom
Newcastle's city centre is certainly not behind the times. The city centre has many shopping areas, including Eldon Square, where the largest Fenwick department store in the country is located. Northumberland Street was ranked as the most expensive shopping road in the U.K., outside of London, for sellers to rent out. The district also contains the largest music venue in the city, Metro Radio Arena, which seats 11,000. In addition to all the entertaining aspects of the city centre, it also plays host to the country's first Biotechnology Village, called the "Centre for Life." The city council considers it the first big step to making Newcastle the "science city."

Grey Street


Newcastle upon Tyne
United Kingdom
From its towering column, the statue of Earl Grey (who instituted major electoral reforms in the nineteenth century, but is probably best remembered for the tea that bears his name) gazes along what former Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman once called the finest curved street in England. Although generally quieter than the bustling streets around it, it does have pubs, restaurants, cafes, and a few shops. It also boasts the Victorian splendour of the Theatre Royal, which is regularly visited by prestigious touring companies, most notably the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Jesmond


Newcastle upon Tyne
United Kingdom
Situated just north of the city centre, Jesmond is a largely residential district. The homes here are among the most expensive in the city. Jesmond has a large student population, as many students attending the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumbria University call it home. Hotels along Osborne Road have become known for their bars and, because of this, the road is legendary among the partying, clubbing and drinking crowds. The largest shopping area in Jesmond, Acorn Road, was laid out before cars were common so the roads are very narrow.

At the heart of the regenerated Quayside, in the Malmaison Hotel, this art deco-style brasserie is a must for lovers of fine food. The atmosphere is relaxed, the discretely screened booths offer an air of intimacy, and the waiters are, to a person, extremely knowledgable about the food and wine. The menu is based on the classic French brasserie model, but is delivered with a contemporary spin that makes this a truly cosmopolitan dining experience. Try the à la carte menu, or if you are in need of economising on time or money, the express lunch or the fixed price dinner which are attractive alternatives that do not sacrifice quality.

As you would expect, the course has plenty of bars and restaurants on site, and there are amusements to keep the kids happy while parents concentrate on the racing.

Accommodation is dormitory style, with communal rooms holding up to eight people. Private rooms can be arranged if you specify this when you book. Bookings should be made at least 48 hours before arrival, so turning up on the doorstep and expecting a room is not a good idea.

Quayside


Newcastle upon Tyne
United Kingdom
This is the oldest part of Newcastle, and was for many years in a state of decay. Recently, however, the decline has been reversed. Some of the old warehouses and residences (many dating back to the sixteenth century) have been converted into pubs, restaurants, and apartments without compromising the original architecture. Development continues, and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge now links the Quayside with the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art across the Tyne in Gateshead. Every Sunday there is a street market, with stalls selling clothes, books, records, and much else. But one of the nicest things to do at the Quayside is simply to stroll. There are broad paved areas fronting the river, with seating, and a number of intriguing sculptures to look at.

This is an impressively palatial hotel situated right in the heart of the city centre, opposite the Central railway station and close to St Mary's Cathedral, and the Life Science Centre. Both interior and exterior have a grand feel that takes you back to a previous generation of style and service. The location is ideal for rail, Metro, and bus links, shops, the theatre, and the justly famous Newcastle night life. The nearby restaurant and bar Gengis is owned by the hotel.

Vermont Hotel


City Landmark Hotel
Castle Garth
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE1 1RQ
United Kingdom
+44 191 233 1010
Standing next to the historic Castle Keep, and with spectacular views of St Nicholas Cathedral and the Tyne Bridge, the Vermont Hotel is a striking listed building. It is close to the Quayside - ideally placed for enjoying Newcastle's eclectic nightlife, and within easy walking distance of the Theatre Royal and the Central railway station. The Vermont offers a choice of dining/drinking options. There's the upbeat Martha's Bar & Bistro, very popular with non-residents, and a quieter all day brasserie - the Blue Room. Bedrooms are luxurious and en suite, with all the added touches you would expect from a top quality hotel. The Vermont provides regular live entertainment.

Luxurious but affordable hotel by the river

The Waterside Hotel is situated in Newcastle's lively Quayside area and is therefore ideally placed for guests wanting to sample the city's acclaimed party spirit. Other more cerebral attractions such as theatres, and the International Centre for Life, are within walking distance, as is the vast shopping area. The Waterside is stylish - it's a Grade II listed building. There is a breakfast room, lounge, the Da Vinci Restaurant, which caters for special diets, and a bar - Jimmyz. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated in a traditional style, and are all en suite.

This is a homely, privately owned hotel in a popular residential suburb of Newcastle. There is a licensed bar and a restaurant although it should be noted that while the restaurant is open every morning for breakfast it is only open in the evenings from Monday to Thursday. The hotel is well situated for traveling to the city center which is only a five-minute drive away, and for access to all major roads, bus routes, and the Metro system.
