Historic Newcastle building set to be transformed into boutique hotel

Newcastle City Council has approved planning for 46 Sandhill to be transformed into No.46 Boutique Hotel & Bistro, home to 10 bedrooms, a bar, three secret gardens, a café and meeting room. The bar will be on the lower ground floor of the building, with the bistro and kitchen on the ground floor and 10 bedrooms spread across three floors.

The former merchants house built in the 1700s has been empty for two years after the closure of the interior design store Whosit & Whatsit.
