INNSiDE by Melia Newcastle

INNSiDE by Melia Newcastle is a contemporary 4-star hotel set along the River Tyne, around 1 km from the Great North Run start area, making it a convenient and well-placed option for event weekend.

The hotel has a clean, modern exterior and a bright, open-plan lobby that feels easy to navigate from the moment you arrive. Inside, the lounge and bar areas are relaxed and comfortable, offering a quiet place to sit, plan your event day, or unwind after time in the city.

Your breakfast will be a varied morning buffet including hot and cold options such as eggs, fruit, cereals, and pastries. This gives you a reliable way to fuel up before the event, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby along the Quayside and city centre for flexible dining throughout your stay.

For preparation and recovery, the hotel offers a well-equipped fitness room that’s ideal for light workouts, stretching, or keeping your routine consistent. The riverside setting also gives you easy access to flat walking routes along the Tyne, which work well for gentle movement or staying loose before and after the event. While there’s no pool or spa, the setup remains practical and easy to use.

Rooms here are modern, quiet, and designed with comfort in mind, featuring supportive beds, blackout curtains, air conditioning, and walk-in showers. Many rooms offer river views, creating a calm space where you can rest properly and reset between event activities.
