Malmaison Newcastle

Stylish, mood-lit comfort on Newcastle's iconic Quayside

Modern and dramatic, Malmaison Newcastle is a 4-star boutique hotel nestled along the River Tyne in the heart of the city's vibrant Quayside. Housed in a beautifully converted warehouse, the hotel blends rich velvets, deep purples, and bold design to create a moody, luxurious vibe — perfect for unwinding after a high-energy night out. With free WiFi, a gym, and rooms boasting river views and satellite TVs, it's a sleek base for music lovers exploring Newcastle’s buzzing live scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

It’s just a short stroll across the Gateshead Millennium Bridge to some of the city’s top venues. After the show, you’re close enough to walk back, avoiding late-night taxi chaos. The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish, ideal for winding down after a gig. Check-in starts at 15:00, giving you ample time to freshen up before heading out, and check-out is a forgiving 11:00 the next day — just enough time for a lie-in and a late breakfast.
