Overview
Newcastle is an all-timer as a destination for a quick and easy getaway out of Sydney. Take the bustling local hospitality, stunning coastal attractions and ever-expanding waterfront entertainment precincts — plus the plenty of fantastic stays on offer. One of those stays, Little National Hotel Newcastle, is celebrating its first birthday this month. With an on-site offering that resembles an inner-city coworking hub and rooms packed with everything you need for comfortable stays, you should remember this destination for any upcoming Newcastle sojourns.
What can one expect at a stay like this? Situated on Honeysuckle Drive, a stone's throw from the Newcastle Transport Interchange, Darby Street dining precinct and Hunter Street light rail, the 181-room property sets you up in a prime perch to explore the rest of the city.
There's plenty of luxury to be enjoyed on-site, since each design-focused room is packed to the rafters with amenities. Every room includes a super king bed, for starters, plus motion-sensor lighting, in-room tablets, Bluetooth audio and Byredo amenities to add a dash of extra relaxation. Planning a lengthy stay? The hotel keeps several apartment suites with additional floor space for a home away from home.
Beyond the room and within the building, you'll find a 24-hour gym stacked with state-of-the-art equipment, and a two-storey coworking-style library and lounge atrium that offers complimentary drinks and snacks for those who need to get some work done.
Once you start feeling peckish, you can hit the ground floor cafe, Monte, for breakfast and lunch, or just a quick coffee to go. The lounge bar offers evening drinks and a range of snacks which can be enjoyed in-room, but you wouldn't need to wander far for a feed in the surrounding offering of Newcastle venues.
