New luxury hotel opens on Newcastle Quayside

Newcastle's Quayside has just become even more glamorous with the opening of the highly anticipated Dakota Hotel. Officially welcoming its first guests on March 29, this boutique hotel is set to redefine luxury in the heart of the city, just in time for the celebrations surrounding Newcastle United's Carabao Cup win. With a perfect blend of sleek design and opulent touches, Dakota Hotel is poised to make a lasting impression on visitors to the North East.
 

A New Standard in Luxury

Dakota is renowned for its stylish, high-end hotels, and this latest addition is no exception. Located at St Ann’s Wharf, a gorgeous riverside building that once housed the Womble Bond Dickinson law firm, the Dakota Hotel in Newcastle combines its signature luxury with a unique architectural backdrop. Far from the trademark 'black box' design the group is known for, this venue takes full advantage of its location, offering breathtaking views of the River Tyne.
  Inside, the hotel has been transformed into a world of sophistication, featuring modern designs with cosy, intimate spaces. Whether you're in the mood for a cocktail in the stylish bar or a quiet moment with a coffee in the tucked-away library, the atmosphere is designed to ensure relaxation and comfort. The addition of a Cigar Terrace also sets the hotel apart as the first of its kind in Newcastle.
 

Stunning Rooms with Riverviews and Premium Amenities

Dakota Hotel offers 118 luxurious rooms, from the Classic Double Room to extravagant suites, providing options for a wide range of guests. Starting from £135 per night mid-week for a Classic Double Room, with rates climbing to £175-£225 on weekends, the hotel offers exceptional value for the level of comfort and design. However, for those seeking an ultra-luxurious experience, the Grand Deluxe suite is the showstopper. With prices reaching £800 mid-week and up to £1,400 on a Saturday, this suite is not just a room—it's a sanctuary.

The Grand Deluxe suite is the largest and most opulent accommodation in the hotel. With its two spacious bedrooms, a fireplace, steam shower, roll-top bath, and dedicated lounge area, this suite truly offers the height of indulgence. Guests can also enjoy the luxury of a dressing-room area and some suites provide stunning views across the Tyne, making every moment spent there a visual delight.

All rooms at Dakota Hotel are designed with muted tones, plush furnishings, and the kind of luxurious touches you would expect from a high-end boutique hotel, including rainfall showers, Apple TV with streaming apps, and a Sky Sports package to enjoy from the comfort of your bed.
   

Dining and Relaxation: The Grill and Champagne Room

For those looking to enjoy delicious food and drink, Dakota Hotel offers several exquisite options. The Grill restaurant is the heart of the hotel’s dining experience, where guests can enjoy everything from mouthwatering roasts to decadent desserts.

For something more relaxed, head to The Library, an atmospheric space bathed in golden light, perfect for sipping champagne or enjoying a quiet moment. At the opposite end of the foyer is the Champagne Room, offering an exclusive setting for those looking to unwind with a glass of bubbly.
   

A Perfect Addition to Newcastle’s Quayside

Dakota’s general manager, Mark Spanton, believes that the Quayside provides the ideal backdrop for the hotel’s luxury offerings. "We can’t wait to show guests visiting the North East the luxury hospitality that Dakota is renowned for," he says. Early bookings have already been high, and it’s clear that this addition to Newcastle’s hotel scene will quickly become a go-to for both business and leisure travellers.

With its blend of style, comfort, and impeccable service, Dakota Hotel on Newcastle Quayside is a must-visit destination for those seeking a premium experience in one of the city’s most iconic areas. Keep an eye out for more updates and reviews as the Dakota experience unfolds.
