Global travel accolade for Staybridge Suites-Newcastle

Staybridge Suites-Newcastle has become one of only two hotels in the North East to make Expedia.com’s prestigious ‘Insiders’ list for 2013.

The Expedia Insiders’ Select list is compiled annually and based on hotels with the best guest satisfaction levels and highest quality staff.

Only 15 UK hotels have made the grade with Staybridge Suites-Newcastle ranked 114 in the world and the Doubletree by Hilton at Newcastle International Airport ranked at 321.

The list contains just 650 of some the 250,000 international hotels and resorts listed on Expedia’s website which are deemed eligible for ‘Insiders’ Select’ status.

Lisa Crocker, general manager at Staybridge Suites-Newcastle, said: “Top marks to all the team. The list is based on real traveller experiences so it’s fantastic to get this recognition. As a team we are continuously striving to provide outstanding hospitality in a great location.

“Staybridge Suites might be part of a global hotel group but we have tailored our services to be very personal and fitting to the region. The Expedia Select List is another fantastic accolade for our hotel, the City and tourism in the North East.”

Last month Staybridge Suites-Newcastle was nominated the overall winner and medium category winner at Service Network’s Culture for Success Awards 2013. The judges cited ‘exceptional customer service and friendly staff always prepared to go the extra mile’ as key factors.

In January the hotel also featured in Trip Advisor’s Top 25 UK Hotels in its People’s Choice awards category. Staybridge Suites scored highest in the North East, coming in 21st, just ahead of Jesmond Dene House and Rockcliffe Hall.

Staybridge Suites-Newcastle has 31 full and part time staff. The building occupies a prime city centre location on Buxton Street, close to the Quayside and City Centre. Many of its suites have views of the River Tyne and Millennium Bridge.

The hotel has 128 suites designed to meet the needs of both extended stay guests and shorter stays. It’s ideal for travellers seeking a residential-style hotel for business, relocation or leisure travel.
