Hotels in Newcastle – The Best Choices For a Great Vacation Experience
Newcastle has undergone something of a transformation in the past few years and it’s now the main centre for tourism along with business in the north east of Britain. Investment inside the city centre as well as the surrounding regions have helped to create a modern, energetic city that features a number of first class facilities and regularly comes top in the best locations to live and work in the uk. There are many reasons to go to Newcastle and it’s been voted the United kingdom’s favourite city break for 4 consecutive years in The Guardian/Observer travel awards. Newcastle possesses many wonderful attractions for all the family and a weekend won’t be enough to investigate them all. It is well recognized the north east is a hotbed of sporting fanaticism and given that Newcastle United are back in the Premier league there are sure to be thousands of soccer supporters from around the country doing the journey to St James’s Park. The Great North Run which is held every year is another occasion which draws in a huge number of participants and spectators and also raises millions for charity. Shopping is an additional major attraction to the city with a huge selection of shops along with boutiques in the city centre and several big shopping centres within the city itself. The MetroCentre is the biggest shopping centre in Europe and it is all too easy to spend a weekend there browsing through the many designer stores it has to offer. With the Newcastle Quayside Market opening in July 2010 plus the already established Grainger market, Jesmond market and the Farmers & Country marketplace you’re hard pressed not to grab a bargain somewhere. Newcastle is famous across the country for its nightlife and has something to offer all people to guarantee a fantastic night out. The Quayside and the Bigg market bring in a lively, young crowd and for the slightly more mature you will discover dozens of traditional pubs, theatres and high quality dining places. No visit to Newcastle would be complete without trying at least one bottle of the legendary Newcastle Brown Ale which has been made in the area for more than 80 years. As you would anticipate from a contemporary and dynamic metropolis there exists a great selection of hotels in Newcastle available. From B&B’s to five star hotels there exists accommodation to suit each and every pocket and I can personally highly recommend the Rosebery Hotel in Jesmond as a superb place to stay.
