The Spotlight on Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter

Riverside Comfort Just Minutes from Newcastle's Top Venues

Modern and polished with a touch of luxury, Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter sits right on the scenic River Tyne. This upscale hotel blends sleek interiors with a welcoming vibe, all within walking distance of Newcastle’s buzzing nightlife and major concert venues. With a full-service spa, stylish rooms overlooking the city, and a brasserie-style restaurant, it's a solid home base whether you're in town for a concert, a football match, or both.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything — and this hotel nails it. You're under 15 minutes on foot from Metro Radio Arena and even closer to Newcastle Central Station, making late-night transport a breeze. After the show, the quiet riverside setting is a welcome retreat. The 15:00 check-in gives you time to settle in before the night kicks off, and while check-out is at 11:00, the calming spa, gym, and steam room are a great way to recover post-gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends – spacious rooms and a fun on-site bar make this a great base to pre-game or wind down together.
  • Solo travelers – feel safe and pampered with 24/7 front desk, spa, and room service.
  • Couples – city views, plush beds, and a cocktail lounge set the tone for a romantic concert weekend.
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space – the riverside location and spa vibe offer calm after the chaos.
  • Budget-conscious music fans – while not the cheapest, the value is strong with quality amenities and location.

Food and Drink Options

Hawthorns restaurant serves up hearty Northern dishes using fresh local ingredients — ideal for fueling up before the show. The Gin Bar crafts gin-based cocktails and classics, making it a great pre- or post-gig meet-up spot. There's a full English buffet breakfast for those who were out late, and 24/7 room service has you covered if you roll in hungry at 2am. Nearby Quayside restaurants offer even more dining choices within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re only a short walk from Newcastle’s best clubs, pubs, and live music spots. Whether you're into indie gigs, jazz lounges, or classic pubs, it's all within easy reach. Prefer to chill? The hotel’s Gin Bar is a stylish, relaxed option for nightcaps with local flair.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, modern rooms and friendly, professional staff. The location near the train station is a major plus, especially for concert-goers. Many reviewers highlight the spa and pool as the perfect way to unwind. The city views and comfortable beds also get frequent shoutouts.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the parking is limited and can be pricey, so consider arriving by train if you can. Spa access can get busy at peak times — especially weekends — so plan your recovery soak accordingly.

The Bottom Line

With a prime location, stylish comfort, and relaxing amenities, Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter is a top pick for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action without sacrificing sleep or style.

Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Isabel Mon, 9 June 2025

Great location, super comfortable place!!

Liked: The room was spacious and very comfortable. There were complimentary teas and coffees with biscuits and water. the hotel is greatly positioned behind the main station. Great sleep. No noise. The carpets were deep and muffled any sound. The towels were big and fluffy. The bathroom had a bath and a shower! Great curtains for total blackout. The pool is smaller than expected, though the water is warm. The steam room is bigger than expected and really good. There is a gym and Jacuzzi, and it looks good though I did not use them.
Disliked: There were a little stains on the carpet in the room. Could have been mud or a tea/coffee stain? The Internet is not too great, as I was trying to see TT highlights on youtube but keep on breaking up. I would have liked some eucalyptus scent in the steam room for greater enjoyment.

Requires attention to detail not...

Liked: Breakfast, bed was comfortable, quiet, close to city centre, drinks pricing was not to bad.
Disliked: Had to complain about basics in the room, like body wash was empty in the shower, asked for Decafe tea from 3 days then it arrived 1 tea bag! they hung dirty towels back in the rack to be used again. problem was i mopped the floor with one and it was scruffy dirty on 1 side only, meaning the floor was not clean from the start, pity the shower door did not close correct, they swapped the room for me or as they called it a upgrade! only difference i could see is the bed was 6 ins wider the rest looked the same, the main entrance windows are in desperate need of cleaning, more so when the sun was on them.
