About The Royal Hotel

Situated in the perfect spot, right on the promenade, the Royal Hotel offers boutique accommodation and a host of dining options in the very heart of Whitley Bay. The rooms are bright and cheerful, and feature en-suite bathrooms, flat screen TV’s and alarm clocks. Reception is open limited hours and can assist with local information and restaurant reservations in its seafront complex. Wi-Fi is free of charge and available throughout the property. The Royal is perhaps better known for its restaurants than its accommodation. Michilino’s offers delectable Italian food, while Noir is the spot for comprehensive afternoon tea’s and later on tapas. A new gastro pub is opening soon and will proudly serve British food. The main attraction is surely the promenade and the lovely beach out front. There are many attractions on this stretch, but families will certainly not want to miss the Blue Reef Aquarium, just 1.5 miles to the south.
