Redevelopment of The Tynemouth Castle Inn, formerly known as The Park Hotel, nears completion

The Tynemouth Castle Inn, formerly known as The Park Hotel, has been undergoing an extensive 14-month redevelopment after its takeover by The Inn Collection Group.

The works include a new fish and chip shop and ice cream parlour as part of a new extension, replacing the hotel’s now-demolished ballrooms.

The venue, which is over 80 years old, will now feature an increased capacity of 72 rooms, a new pub and kitchen, and outdoor terrace space.

CEO of The Inn Collection Group Sean Donkin said: ”This stunning building is an institution on the coast in Tynemouth and we are delighted to be giving this icon a new lease of life for people in the community and visitors alike to enjoy.

“Our restoration has been a significant investment and has been carefully carried out to preserve the individual character and distinctiveness of the building.

“We are looking forward to being a part of the community and contributing to North Tyneside’s wider economic growth, prosperity, and employment opportunities through increased, year-round trading.

“Our improved bar and dining areas are going to attract new and local custom whilst the increased bedrooms will generate increased overnight bookings throughout the year.”
