Who needs the gym when you’ve made over 260 homemade scones in a day? 💪🧑‍🍳

Our chefs are feeling it today, but it was all worth it to keep you stocked with fresh, homemade goodness! ☕🫐🍓

✨ A Message from Lady Whistledown… ✨

Dearest Gentle Readers,

What a truly enchanting afternoon it was! Our hearts are full as we reflect upon the success of our very first Bridgerton Afternoon Tea Event. From the elegant blooms and delicate tea settings to the wonderful company and delightful conversations, every moment was nothing short of magical.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to each and every guest who joined us and embraced the charm, sophistication, and romance of the occasion. Your presence transformed our vision into a splendid celebration worthy of the social season.

Until our next gathering, may your teacups remain full, your spirits lifted, and your calendars prepared for more unforgettable events to come.

With deepest appreciation.

✨Guest Feedback Spotlight✨

There’s nothing better than hearing that we’ve helped create a memorable stay for our guests.

“I just wanted to drop a quick email regarding our stay yesterday.
The young gentleman on reception was very polite and the gentleman on the bar was super friendly.
We were really impressed with your hotel and the leisure facilities. Our room was huge and beds were fab. Loved the swimming pool and whirlpool bath and the lady in the reception off the swimming pool was lovely. We will definitely be back to stay in the future.
Very impressed”.

Thank you to Joanne and Justin for taking the time to share their wonderful feedback following their recent stay with us.

We’re delighted that our reception, bar and leisure teams helped make your visit so enjoyable, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Grand Hotel Sunderland again soon.

⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT START A CONVERSATION. I’M TRYING TO LEAVE EARLY. ⚠️

Additional guidance:
• If it can wait until tomorrow, it will.
• If it’s a “quick question,” it probably isn’t.
• If you catch me heading for the door, no you didn’t.

Happy National Leave the Office Early Day to all who celebrate!

✨Then & Now – A Sunderland Seafront Icon✨

Whether you knew it as the Seaburn Hotel, the Swallow Hotel Sunderland, the Sunderland Marriott Hotel, or today’s Grand Hotel Sunderland, this landmark has been part of the Sunderland coastline for generations.

This photo perfectly captures a passage of time — While the architecture has changed and the name above the door has evolved over the decades, its place in the memories of locals and visitors remains unchanged.

Countless weddings, family celebrations, holidays, business events, Sunday lunches, and seaside stays have taken place here. Every generation seems to have its own story connected to this famous seafront hotel.

What do you remember it as?
Seaburn Hotel, Swallow Hotel Sunderland, Sunderland Marriott Hotel, or Grand Hotel Sunderland?
