About Hilton Garden Inn Sunderland

Hilton Garden Inn Sunderland stands on Vaux Brewery Way next to the Stadium of Light, on the north bank of the River Wear. It has 141 bedrooms, and its position makes it a common base for away supporters, concert-goers and business visitors. The St Peter's riverside path and the Wearmouth Bridge are within walking distance, and the city centre is across the river.

The hotel marked its tenth anniversary in April 2026 with a refurbishment worth around £150,000, covering the lobby, the bar and the restaurant seating. Its restaurant, Karbon Grill, serves grilled dishes and is open to non-residents. Rooms book up quickly on match days and when the stadium hosts concerts, so it is worth reserving well ahead for those dates. Stadium of Light and St Peter's Metro stations are both a short walk away.
