“To give customers a unique travel experience, each Motel One takes design influences from its city’s local history and culture. During construction great care was taken to preserve some of the old brick walls to retain the original building’s charm. Motel One Newcastle has taken its design inspiration from old industrial charm blended with stylish modernism. This is showcased by the carefully conserved old brick walls contrasting beautifully with sparkling chandeliers and the reception’s black and white stripes of Newcastle United Football Club,” Motel One said in a statement.

Bar The hotel features a ‘One Lounge’ breakfast area and a bar with Italian leather furniture that offers guests a place to relax and enjoy a special selection of single malt or gin and tonic after a busy day in the city.
