The Copthorne Newcastle Turns 25

The Copthorne Hotel Newcastle, situated on the banks of the Tyne is quite the institution in the city. Well this month the hotel celebrates a milestone as it turns 25 years old.
That’s correct; this beautiful hotel has held it place overlooking the river since 1991. Built on, back then, a rather desolate landscape the 156 bedroom property created quite a stunning outline on the city and has remained a favourite with travellers ever since.

The property makes the most of its location with all bedrooms having full length windows with a fantastic view of the Tyne and its bridges (one of which wasn’t event there when the hotel was built!)

The venue has celebrated its silver anniversary by undergoing over 1million pounds of investment and refurbishment. The 90s are nowhere in sight with the updating of bedrooms, the restaurant, functions rooms and the lobby and an impressive installation of an outdoor terrace to wind down after a hard day’s work.

If you haven’t seen the property for a while, what better excuse than a birthday to visit (you never know, there might even be cake!)
