About Leonardo Hotel Newcastle
If you’re looking for a hotel in Newcastle that combines a convenient city centre location with comfortable surroundings, look no further than Leonardo Hotel Newcastle. Step into the hotel lobby and you’ll be greeted at elegant reception counters with iconic shots of the city’s famous skyline as a backdrop. Once the friendly team have helped you check in, the choice is yours: you could head to your spacious room to freshen up, or why not toast your arrival at the slick hotel bar, where you can enjoy a Newcastle Brown Ale on comfy seats while you admire the feature wall with its amazing print of the Tyne river at night.
Later, after you’ve spent a day exploring the magnificent cultural and sporting highlights of the city, you’ll come back to a comfortable bed knowing there’s a hearty breakfast ahead of you in the morning. Whether you’re visiting ‘the Toon’ with friends, for a romantic weekend or on business, there’s something here for everyone, and Leonardo Hotel Newcastle makes an ideal home from home in the city.
