Sunderland's only four star hotel is the Sunderland Marriott.

Located on the seafront overlooking the sandy beaches at Seaburn two miles north of city centre, this full-service hotel offers modern, high quality accommodation for business and leisure travelers alike with ensuite facilities - many enjoying sea views.

A 2.8 million pound renovation completed in 1998 added thirty-three fully air conditioned executive bedrooms including three luxurious suite style rooms complete with a glazed rotunda overlooking the sea. One room has been specially adapted for disabled travelers.

The Sunderland Marriott features banqueting and conference facilities, cocktail bar, fine dining restaurant awarded a AA red rosette, private parking and superb leisure club facilities.
