Melia Hotel Newcastle: A New Landmark on the Banks of the Tyne
Located on the scenic banks of the River Tyne in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, the Melia Hotel is a brand-new 161-room hotel, catering to both business travelers and guests eager to experience Newcastle's renowned nightlife.
The hotel’s construction features the Traditional Brick & Stone Maranello brick, chosen for its ability to harmonize with the surrounding historic architecture. Overlooking the iconic High Level Bridge, opened by Queen Victoria in 1849, the Melia Hotel required a facing brick that would complement the five large masonry piers of the bridge. Designed by the famous Robert Stephenson, the bridge is a key element of Newcastle’s heritage, making the Maranello brick a perfect match for blending modern and historic architecture.
