Whether set within a bustling city centre, a former Victorian pleasure ground or right on the shore of the North Sea, these hotels each offer much to explore nearby; discover the must-see cultural attractions, restaurant and shops in our dedicated guides to Durham, Newcastle, and Sunderland to find out more, or read on to find your perfect accommodation.
