About the hotel
Less than a mile from Gateshead’s MetroCentre, Europe's largest shopping mall, this charming hotel offers comfortable, well-appointed en suite accommodation with a nautical theme.
The Rowers Hotel is also very close to Newcastle’s city centre and the Quayside. With the hotel as a comfortable base, you can enjoy cultural events at the Sage Gateshead or at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. Alternatively, you could experience Newcastle's vibrant nightlife.
The hotel’s recent refurbishments have created luxurious surroundings, but the atmosphere is always homely and relaxed. The Rowers' décor is nautical, to reflect its riverside traditions. Oak panelling throughout adds a warm, traditional look. The comfortable lounge has a welcoming open fire in the winter and there is a pleasant, sunny conservatory overlooking the gardens. All of the en suite rooms have a TV, radio and tea/coffee making facilities. Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout.
The hotel was built over 100 years ago. The original owner used to row workers across the Tyne to Newcastle, hence the hotel’s name. Today, the hotel’s cosy wooden interiors recreate the feel of a passenger ship.
The hotel has a restaurant and bar and you can relax in the lounge or in the conservatory. If the weather is good, you can enjoy a quiet drink in the garden.
