About The Roker Hotel
The Roker Hotel sits on Roker Terrace, above the beach and looking out towards Roker Pier and its lighthouse. Its bedrooms include sea-view rooms, and the ground floor houses the 1842 Cafe Bistro, which is open to non-residents as well as guests. The Marine Walk promenade and Roker Park are a few minutes away on foot, and the city centre is a short bus or taxi ride south.
Weddings are held in The Ballroom and The Lounge, and the hotel offers bridal and honeymoon suites. Its wedding packages include one in which the honeymoon suite is part of the wedding-night arrangement, and bridal parties can book rooms at reduced rates. The same rooms are used for private parties and other events. Check the hotel's own website or phone the reception team for current room rates, wedding dates and package details.
