The Copthorne is a luxurious, modern, four star hotel located in the cosmopolitan Quayside, just a stone’s throw from Newcastle city centre. Each of the 156 rooms – double or twin – are available to book for upwards of £255 and benefit from a non-smoking policy throughout the building. Twenty-four hour reception is on standby for all guests, and car parking is relatively cheap for such a desirable location, £5.00 per twelve hours.

The list of amenities at the Copthorne is endless, all part and parcel of its extravagant style. The hotel has its own swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, bar/restaurant, gymnasium, masseuse, beauty salon, laundry service and even a doctor on call. That’s not all, there’s a concierge service, a porter, currency exchange, private dining areas, twenty-four hour room service and a wake-up call if requested.

The rooms themselves are equally well equipped. Tea and coffee facilities are available as standard, as is a telephone, satellite television, hair dryer, trouser press and cots for the children to sleep in. On top of this, the larger-than-average rooms are tastefully decorated, with wheelchair access and the choice of being inter-connected. A lift services all floors and in-room broadband is an invaluable tool for guests staying on business. Further to the extensive facilities, the Copthorne also holds a wedding licence, meaning it opens its doors for newly-weds to enjoy the luxury of their establishment.

On the banks of the river, the Copthorne is in a most convenient location for travel and sight-seeing. It is close to the airports and easily accessible by motorway or rail, this four star establishment is also centrally placed for shopping and visiting local attractions – such as the cathedrals, museums and the many bridges that link the city centre across the Tyne.

There are many fantastic 4 star hotels in Newcastle but the thing about this city centre accommodation is that it’s not just a hotel room, it’s a home away from home in the form of an apartment with living room and fully fitted kitchen. The four star Premier Apartments complex in Newcastle has thirty-one apartments available to rent, with one or two bedrooms – the latter of which has a main bathroom and an en-suite for the master bedroom, costing upwards of about eighty-five pounds. The open plan living arrangement makes for a spacious apartment, and the modern design is fairly minimalist, but welcoming and homely at the same time.

Amenities include; WiFi access throughout the building, in-room modem hook up, hairdryer in each bedroom, TV, CD player, radio and iron with ironing board. Other helpful services are also available, such as; onsite car-parking (chargeable at £9.50 per twenty-four hours), limited hours room service, disabled facilities and access to public areas, laundry/valet service, lift to all floors, and reception that operates between 8am and 8pm on weekdays, 10am and 6pm on Saturdays, and 11am and 6pm on Sundays.

The Premier Apartments complex is locating just a short walk from the centre of Newcastle Upon Tyne, or an even shorter metro journey. The city is well supported by extensive rail and bus services, and it’s recommended that any visitors – business or leisure – take some time to explore the cultured quarter along the Quayside, which offers art and music as entertainment, not to mention the architecture of the many bridges along the Tyne. The Historic district of Newcastle is also a big draw, and only a short cab ride away from the Apartments, its Georgian houses and Cathedrals tell a story of the city’s history and are always worth a look.
