Mercure George Washington Hotel10 Mar 2016

Situated 15minutes from Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham, and only 15 minutes from Newcastle Airport, the Mercure George Washington Hotel is at the heart of three Northern cities. It’s in the perfect location for travellers visiting the North East whether for business or leisure. Boasting an 18-hole championship golf course with a new floodlit 16 bay driving range and state-of-the-art gym, spa and beauty facilities, with 103 bedrooms and four meeting rooms, the hotel has plenty to offer.

Why not indulge in some traditional afternoon tea with a twist, with freshly made sandwiches and savoury scones, and compliment your treats with a bottle of Prosecco or tea and coffee at your choice? The newly extended and spacious restaurant has a light and airy feel with floods of natural daylight, overlooking views of the golf course through floor to ceiling windows. Boasting a stylish bar and lounge area adjacent to the restaurant providing a truly exclusive venue for weddings or private dining, giving guests privacy and flexibility. 

From a 20 delegate boardroom, in the Kennedy Suite, up to 200 theatre style in the Clinton Suite, the Mercure George Washington Hotel can accommodate for your specific meeting or event requirements. There is also a stone bake pizza oven in the patio area overlooking the golf course, which is perfect for summer meetings with a difference.

In addition, the hotel has also recently launched its new Carter and Fitch restaurant and bar area, at the front of the hotel, to seat up to 60 covers at a time, with more room available on the outside terrace. Carter and Fitch serve a variety of fresh and seasonal dishes including pizzas, steaks and burgers, with ingredients all locally sourced. The new area can also be used for any meetings if requested.

The hotel is very flexible with the ability to incorporate golf into corporate packages and tailor to your requirements where possible.
