Golden Tulip to build a hotel in Gateshead

Golden Tulip Hotels is building an eight-storey hotel in Gateshead.

 

Golden Tulip Hotels is building an eight-storey Tulip Inn hotel in Gateshead so the 115 beds can be sited on a smaller piece of land. Golden Tulip managing director Peter Roberts says: "We look to develop tall buildings because, otherwise, what you are paying for is car parking. Our land-take in Gateshead is really quite small." However, Roberts has a further trick up his sleeve when land costs make budget development non-viable. In that instance, the company will often develop its middle-range brand, Golden Tulip, rather than its budget brand, Tulip Inn.
