Hotels in Newcastle for Long Weekends and City Breaks

Newcastle has been through something of a change in the last few years and it is right now the main centre for tourism along with business in the north east of Britain. Millions of pounds of investment have revived the city centre making it an appealing place to live and work and helped to create 1000s of brand new jobs.

There are lots of good reasons to visit Newcastle and it’s been voted the UK’s favourite city break for 4 consecutive years in The Guardian/Observer travel awards. In fact Newcastle has so many excellent attractions it really is difficult to know where to start but let’s start with sport.

It is well recognized that the north east is a hotbed of sporting zeal and seeing that Newcastle United are back in the Premier league there are sure to be a huge number of football fans from round the nation doing the trip to St James’s Park. The Great North Run which is held annually is yet another occasion that appeals to countless participants and spectators and raises enormous amounts for charity.

Shopping in Newcastle is something of a hobby for its residents and it’s not really hard to see why. The MetroCentre has the largest shopping centre and complex in Europe with a host of top name brands in one place. With the Newcastle Quayside Market opening in July 2010 and also the already established Grainger market, Jesmond market and the Farmers & Country marketplace you’re hard pressed not to grab a good deal somewhere.

Newcastle is famous across the nation because of its night life and it has something to offer everybody to guarantee a great night out. The Quayside and the Bigg market appeal to a lively, young crowd and for the somewhat more mature there are lots of traditional pubs, theatres and also high quality dining establishments. No visit to Newcastle could be complete without trying at least one bottle of the legendary Newcastle Brown Ale which has been brewed in the city for longer than eighty years.

As you would anticipate from a contemporary and dynamic metropolis there exists a superb range of hotels in Newcastle available. From B&B’s to five star hotels there’s accommodation to match every pocket and I can personally suggest the Rosebery Hotel in Jesmond as a wonderful place to stay.
