Situated in the heart of Whitley Bay, this family run hotel has offered both holidaying guests and contractors a friendly and high standard of accommodation for over 30 years. We take great pride in the cleanliness and quality of accommodation offered in the Royal Hotel, and are known and remembered fondly by regular visitors for our all inclusive quality, hearty, cooked English breakfasts. Sea view rooms offer panoramic views of Whitley Bay's blue flag beach and iconic St Mary's Lighthouse. All our rooms are en-suite and offer a flat-screen TV, free WIFI, tea/coffee facilities allowing you to rest and refresh with ease. Set on the seafront Promenade and few steps onto Whitley Bay beach, the Royal hotel could be any closer to the sandy beaches and popular promenade full of bustling restaurants and bars. Only a few yards from the famous Spanish City, Whitley Bay town centre, and a couple of miles from St Mary’s lighthouse, this is an excellent base to explore Tyneside, the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, and Northumberland.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.
