Grand Hotel Sunderland

On Sunderland’s seafront in Seaburn, about 2 miles (3 km) north of the city centre and overlooking Seaburn/Whitburn Sands. A short drive from Stadium of Light, Sunderland Empire and the National Glass Centre, with Newcastle International Airport roughly 30 km away.

A modern, family-friendly beach hotel with 82 individually decorated en‑suite rooms—many with sea views—and three suite-style rooms featuring glazed rotundas that look out over the sea. Rooms include tea/coffee facilities, satellite TV, safes and hairdryers; some offer bathtubs or showers. The property was renovated and blends contemporary comfort with seaside character; pets are allowed for an extra charge.

Lean into seaside downtime with a heated indoor pool, sauna, hot tub and a health club/gym. Enjoy concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), free self-parking (subject to availability) and complimentary wired and wireless internet—perfect for wake-up-to-sea-breeze mornings and relaxed afternoons on the promenade.

Conference and banqueting facilities, a business centre and complimentary wired internet make this a solid pick for meetings and events. Dry cleaning, laundry and on-site parking keep business stays smooth.

On-site options include The Cast Iron Bar & Grill, the Promenade restaurant (serving English and continental breakfast and dinner) and the Mariner Bar for lunch and drinks. A bar/lounge and café round out the choices for casual bites and evening cocktails.
