A chic urban retreat on Newcastle’s Grey Street

‘Intimate’ is the best word to describe Newcastle’s greystreethotel. Sure, it has all the things that you’d expect from a boutique hotel – to die for bedding, towels you can sink into and own brand toiletries its guaranteed you’ll want to smuggle out – but with only 49 rooms the personality of the hotel and its staff really shine through.

Choose from a collection of rooms ranging from the humble double to one of three split level junior suites complete with elevated bathroom. All are a haven of understated style without being cold and minimalist.

When thoughts turn from bed to food, greystreethotel’s neighbour – ‘the living room’ – offers a great menu of contemporary British food.

Created from the shell of a Victorian bank, this grand old lady of a building which makes up the hotel sits right in the heart of Newcastle on its famous Grey Street thoroughfare.

A graceful set of glass doors are all that separate you from the hotel’s lobby and one of the most vibrant cities north of London.

And, when you’re done with the city, kick back and relax in the hotel’s intimate cellar bar, which has been carved out from the old bank vaults.
