The Hotel Malmaison stands proudly on the Newcastle quayside and the philosophy of the hotel fits in with that of the surrounding area: cool sophistication and refined culture with a bold, confident outlook and above all, individuality. The rooms are striking in design, as well as spacious and comfortable, with exquisite attention to detail and facilities to meet the requirements of even the most demanding guest. Many have views over the river, while the Chateau floor has suites that offer a true taste of luxury.

As always at Malmaison, the focus is firmly on the very highest standards of dining and drinking, and you won’t be disappointed by the brasserie-style restaurant with its intimate, cosy ambience and superb menu, or by the stylish, funky bar. A first for Malmaison is Café Mal, a deli-style café with a great riverside location. Whether you choose to use the conference and meeting facilities for business or for pleasure, you’ll find the Malmaison has got it covered. The two purpose-built meeting rooms have got just what you’ve been searching for, and with the well-equipped gymtonic health club facilities and the soothing petit spa, you’ll find the Mal has everything you need to make your stay a memorable one.

Newcastle and its neighbour Gateshead have seen considerable development and improvements over recent years, transforming the area. Newcastle is fortunate to have a very fine city centre, packed with historical and architectural gems. It is also a shopper’s paradise, with every major shop imaginable on offer. A short journey on the Tyne and Wear Metro will take you to the Metro Centre, one of the UK’s largest and best shopping centres.
