The Grand hotel is the former summer home of the Duke of Northumberland and you can tell. It has a wonderfull curved staircase with beautiful period windows. I won't say that it's the best hotel I have been to but it is certainly a decent place to stay. The restaurant is pleasant though a bit pricey and the rooms are... more

Where to start - The staircase will be the feature that remains in the memory of the first time visitor to the Grand. Sweeping elegently between floors this certainly puts your mind in sync with the hotel name. The reception staff were curteous if not over friendly. The dining room is another treat with heavy glass chandaliers hanging from the... more

This is the second time I have stayed. I like it so much that I am going back in Novemebr 09, with my wife, and will stay in one of the Ocean side rooms. more

I stayed here for work and was given a rather imposing four posted bed with a great view of the ocean as my room. It was nice to leave the window open and wake up to sounds of the ocean.

The location is superb, Tynemouth is a lovely place and the view from the entrance of the hotel is superb. The reception area and public bars are also very nice. I stayed for... more

A good friend of mine had returned from the States with his wife and were staying in the hotel. On their last day of stay, they gave their friends and extended family a diner party there. On my friend's recommendations, my wife and I chose to stay there for one night to avoid travelling home after the party at night.... more

A stunning location immediately overlooking the beach - so even though there was no fitness centre there was the option of a run along the beach before breakfast. The entrance hall in the hotel has a really dramatic staircase and as the lift was not working and my room was on the top floor I got to see all of... more

We've stayed here twice, both times for a couple of nights. Its the sort of hotel that despite being perfectly situated overlooking a great beach, has you thinking that it might be kind of dowdy and uninteresting inside. A step inside the front door will change all that. It's a well modernised place run by helpful and enthusiastic staff. We... more
