Better question for the locals mate. I hope that proposed hotel would be something of quality - an upscale higher end hotel that can hopefully be a proper / major hotel brand. Quality of the hotels in Newcastle need some improvements. Assuming continued NUFC upward trajectory + investment like this for a convention center and arena - it should lead to higher quality lodging.

It’s an ibis/Novotel but that image posted by Manorpark has subsequently been changed and the hotel will no longer be on front of the building. The old fire station being redeveloped by the Reuben’s will be the city centre’s first 5 star hotel. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/redrawn-48m-gateshead-quayside-hotel-25625324 Edited November 30, 2022 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no single Tyne and Wear council. Also it’s worth noting that our councils don’t operate like they do in other countries like the USA. Our councils get a small allocated amount of money to operate day to day things. If they want to improve anything then they have to bid to central government for funding and compete against other councils, often against their neighbouring councils. They also do not have the ability to leverage a local sales tax and or business rates to fund projects such as stadiums. A new stadium would far exceed any potential pot any council would bid for, and I doubt any of them would be suitable towards a new stadium. On top of this you also have the fact that we are currently ran by a Tory government who do have any sort inclination to spend public money, let alone on a football club that is now regarded as having the richest owners in sport. Then again the Reubens are Tory donors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
