Situated in the formerly industrial Baltic Triangle quarter, now the city’s hipster-central hub, the quirky Baltic Hotel is handy for waterfront attractions, plus close to the Camp and Furnace venue for live events.

This is one primarily for the night owls and people seeking plenty of ‘vibes’ with regular DJ sets and live music at weekends in The Parlour, plus next-day-recovery brunches (pre book for a discount). Alternatively, there’s an all-day-dining menu at the in-house pub, The Duck & Swagger.

There’s a range of contemporary rooms at different price points, some featuring music-motif extra touches, such as Marshall speaker mini-bars and vintage vinyl.

The surrounding area today strikes a balance between its gritty industrial past and hipster hang-out present with cool cafes and galleries amid the disused buildings. It may not be an obvious tourist hub but it’s one packed with local character.

Oh, and if you’re stopping coffee around the Baltic Quarter, then 92 Degrees is a local institution for the city’s best caffeine fix and home-roasted coffee.

Please note - we hope to one day have live prices for you, but for now, here are some useful links for you to compare prices...
