Hotels in Newcastle – The Best Choices For a Great Vacation Experience

Newcastle has gone from strength to strength in recent times and it has become the main tourist destination in the north east of England appealing to millions of visitors every year. Investment in the city centre and the adjacent areas have helped to create a contemporary, energetic city which has a host of first class services and regularly comes top in the best locations to live and work in the united kingdom. There are numerous good reasons to pay a visit to Newcastle and it’s been selected as the United kingdom’s favourite city break for four consecutive years in The Guardian/Observer travel awards. In fact Newcastle possesses so many terrific attractions it’s difficult to know where to start but why don’t we start with sport. It is well recognized that the north east is a hotbed of sporting zeal and given that Newcastle United are back in the Premier league there are sure to be a huge number of football fans from around the nation doing the journey to St James’s Park. The Great North Run is an additional event that appeals to hundreds of thousands of runners and spectators to the city every year and also helps to raise millions of pounds for charity. Shopping in Newcastle is something of a hobby for its residents and it’s not really hard to understand why. The MetroCentre is the largest shopping centre in Europe and it is all too easy to spend a weekend break there looking at the variety of designer shops it offers. With the Newcastle Quayside Market beginning in July 2010 and also the already established Grainger market, Jesmond market and the Farmers & Country marketplace you’ll be hard pressed not to grab a bargain somewhere. Newcastle has probably the greatest choice of night clubs and pubs in the uk and has a reputation throughout the United kingdom as the place to go for a terrific night out. The Quayside and the Bigg market bring in a lively, young crowd and for the somewhat more mature there are a large number of traditional pubs, theatres and also high quality dining establishments. And needless to say no trip to Newcastle could be complete without sampling the renowned Newcastle Brown Ale at least one time. There’s a great range of hotels in Newcastle to choose from when you are booking your lodging for the weekend. From B&B’s to five star hotels there is accommodation to suit every pocket and I can personally recommend the Rosebery Hotel in Jesmond as a superb place to stay.
