Malmaison Newcastle Quayside
Dark, moody and right on the Quayside - Malmaison Newcastle puts you in the middle of the city's most iconic stretch of riverfront.
Back to venues
Malmaison Newcastle sits right on the Quayside, which makes it one of the best-located hotels in the city if you want to be in the thick of it. The building is a converted Victorian warehouse – all exposed beams and dramatic brick – and the Malmaison brand has leaned into the darkness rather than lightening it up. Black leather, low lighting, deep colours. It works.
Rooms vary in size but the river-facing ones are worth the upgrade – waking up to the Tyne Bridge and Sage Gateshead across the water is a genuinely special Newcastle experience. The brasserie does a solid weekend brunch and a proper evening menu, and the bar stays lively well into the night at weekends.
Location: The Quayside, Newcastle. The Millennium Bridge, Sage Gateshead, and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art are all within a five-minute walk. Central Station is about 12 minutes on foot, or a short taxi ride.
Best for: Weekend city breaks, couples, anyone who wants to be in the social heart of Newcastle’s nightlife and restaurant scene. The Quayside strip of bars and restaurants is right outside the door.
Nearby: Pitcher and Piano, The Free Trade Inn, Quayside market (Sundays), BALTIC, Sage Gateshead. Easy access to the bridges and the riverfront walking route.
Book early for Newcastle Pride, Quayside events, and any big NUFC home fixture weekends – the hotel sells out quickly when the city is busy.
