Tucked among the tree-lined streets of Madison Drive, Mercure Charlestown is Newcastle's home away from home — a boutique hotel where genuine warmth meets effortless comfort. Close enough to the city to be convenient, quiet enough to truly unwind.

About

One of Newcastle NSW most beloved hotels, Mercure Charlestown has welcomed guests for decades with the kind of hospitality that feels personal. Our 54 thoughtfully appointed rooms offer a relaxed elegance, with glimpses of the city skyline through a canopy of leafy treetops.

Dip into the outdoor pool, stretch out on a sun lounger, and let the day slow down. When hunger calls, Madison Kitchen & Bar serves fresh, seasonal menus built around locally sourced produce — the kind of food that tastes like where you are.

Planning something special? Our sophisticated function spaces and dedicated event team make weddings and signature events a genuine pleasure to plan.
