Hotel Gotham Newcastle is taking bookings for the Greggs Suite, a room created with the bakery chain in its home city, with the first stays from Thursday 12 November. Greggs describes it as the first and only Greggs Suite, and it sleeps two.
The suite is in the Police Station, the newly opened part of the hotel in the former police station and magistrates court on Pilgrim Street. Hotel Gotham Newcastle opened in the neighbouring former fire station in late 2025 as the city’s first five-star hotel, within a Grade II listed civic building constructed between 1931 and 1933.
The room is decked out in Gotham’s signature style with Greggs touches throughout: blue and gold, embossed art deco details, gold trims on deep blue walls, an arched headboard and bespoke artwork.
Its centrepiece may be the gold rotary phone by the bed. It is more than decoration: picking it up connects guests to a dedicated concierge service, which brings fresh sausage rolls on a silver platter.
As a nod to the 96 layers in Greggs’ puff pastry, the first 96 stays in the suite come with limited-edition merchandise to take home, including plush robes, slippers, eye masks and tote bags.
A portion of each booking will go to the Greggs Foundation, which supports people and communities in the areas where Greggs operates through grant programmes that help create opportunities, bring people together and provide practical support when it is needed.
Greggs is also giving away eight overnight stays in the suite over the next two years, exclusively through the Greggs App. The suite follows other partnerships beyond the bakery counter, including a London Fashion Week promotion with Just Eat in September that gave pre-loved designer handbags to customers ordering Greggs for delivery.
Stays in the Greggs Suite start at £335 per night, and bookings are open now. Greggs, which calls Newcastle its hometown, says the city has 12 of its shops.
