This upscale hotel in quaint Newcastle attracts couples and families in equal numbers with its many on-site features such as several restaurants and bars, a spa complete with an indoor pool, and event spaces which are popular venues for weddings. Guests also have free access to country club facilities, but the real standouts here are the rooms. Spacious, and individually decorated in everything from stylish stripes to feminine florals, these up-to-date accommodations include free Wi-Fi and large flat-screen TVs; DVD players are available upon request, as are mini-fridges, which are noticeably absent. Common spaces don't quite live up to the rooms, but are nonetheless well-kept.

The Crowne Plaza Newcastle is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located right on the wharf on the city’s Honeysuckle harbor. The 175 suites are spacious, featuring separate living areas, fridges, and kettles, but bland decor. Similarly, the shared areas downstairs are dated and lackluster. That said, outside is a long lap pool and a sunny terrace that overlooks the harbor -- where the hotel’s all-day restaurant serves afternoon tea. Guests have access to a fully equipped fitness center next door. Those looking for something more stylish should consider Junction Hotel, which also tends to have lower rates.
