QT Newcastle: A Bold New Stay Inside a 113-Year-Old Icon

QT Newcastle

A Heritage Treasure Reimagined

In the heart of Newcastle’s historic East End, a century-old landmark has been transformed into one of the city’s most distinctive boutique stays. QT Newcastle, housed in the beautifully restored 113-year-old former David Jones building, blends heritage charm with the contemporary flair the QT brand is known for. Its striking design, bold personality and coastal-inspired luxury make it a standout destination for travellers seeking something truly unique.

Where History Meets Modern Coastal Style

Every corner of QT Newcastle reflects a thoughtful balance between past and present. The building’s original architectural character has been preserved, while the interiors—designed by long-time QT collaborator Nic Graham—bring in fresh energy inspired by the region’s coastline. The hotel’s 104 rooms and suites feature soft coastal hues, textured finishes and modern comforts, creating inviting spaces that feel both stylish and deeply connected to their surroundings.

Guests are greeted by a giant moon sculpture in the lobby, a playful signature touch that hints at the creativity woven through the entire hotel. From the moment you step inside, QT Newcastle feels like an experience rather than just a place to stay.

A Dining Scene That Elevates the Stay

The warm atmosphere and thoughtful hospitality make it an ideal spot for both hotel guests and local diners.

Upstairs, the rooftop bar offers sweeping views across Newcastle’s cityscape and the ocean beyond. It is the perfect setting to unwind with a drink while watching the light shift across the harbour or the sunset glow over the coastline.
