The house
MalmaisonBoutique industrial warehouse
The former cooperative warehouse runs with informal brasserie energy, filled with moody corners, late cocktails, and views across the water.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel is a design statement as well, easily the most stylish in Newcastle, with such Continental flourishes as a French-speaking elevator and a Parisian-style brasserie.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge arches right outside, carrying walkers across the Tyne directly to the Baltic art museum.
The rooms
Rooms come in vibrant, contemporary colours with plush beds, and many look straight across the River Tyne.
The spa
Four treatment rooms use TEMPLESPA products for massage, set beside a quiet relaxation lounge and a sauna.
Restaurant
Chez Mal Brasserie
Arched windows look straight out toward the river, framing dinner tables set with dry-aged steaks and French classics.
Chez Mal Bar
Velvet armchairs sit under blue neon and tiled pillars, where the counter pours craft beers and cocktails.
How it began
The Victorian warehouse was built to store butter and grain, then rescued in 1994 to lead the Quayside's revival.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
