Newcastle
Bold, design-led boutique-chain hotel. Dark palettes, statement headboards, cheeky brand voice. Think upscale without the stuffiness — cocktails at the bar feel as natural as a power breakfast in the brasserie.
Book a Bridge View or Club Deluxe Bridge View room — the Millennium Bridge view at night is genuinely worth the upgrade
Why It Matters
The only hotel with a front-row seat to the Gateshead Millennium Bridge on the Quayside. Grade II listed building with genuine architectural character, and one of the best-positioned hotels in the city for the Baltic, Sage Gateshead, and the river.
A 122-room upscale hotel carved out of a Grade II listed former Co-operative Society warehouse right on Newcastle's Quayside. The building has serious bones — brick, height, riverside position — and Malmaison has filled it with its signature dark interiors, moody lighting, and bold design. Rooms are getting a full makeover from January 2025, so expect fresh finishes on top of the existing Mal formula. No pool on site, but there's a TEMPLESPA spa, a Josper-grill brasserie, and direct views of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge from the upper Bridge View rooms and the Signature Suite.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Bridge View Room
Spacious room with queen bed and the headline feature: views directly onto the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Worth the upgrade, especially at night when the bridge is lit. En-suite with shower over bath.
QueenBridge View Twin
Spacious twin room with the same Millennium Bridge views as the Bridge View double, but with two beds. Good for friends who want the view without sharing.
