Grainger Town

Grainger Town is Newcastle's elegant historic heart with stunning Georgian architecture at every turn. Grey Street's sweeping curve of honey-colored sandstone buildings creates a magnificent urban theatre. The ornate Theatre Royal anchors the cultural scene alongside bustling Grainger Market's Victorian iron-and-glass canopy. Shoppers will love exploring independent boutiques housed in classical buildings with traditional signage. The area balances tourism with authentic local character, especially in Grainger Market where you'll find regional specialities like stottie cakes.

"I love the hotel but what I did not like this time was, I was not allocated a room until I arrived. So I ended up with a disabled room. I don’t know if it was because I was a solo traveller or maybe they thought I would not arrive or even because I did not pay until I arrived. It took about 10 minutes to check in when the person next to me checked in , in 2 minutes. Apart from that I like staying at the Maldron."
