FOOTBALL FANS CAN SCORE POINTS WITH THEIR PARTNERS…

FOOTBALL fans heading to Tyneside to watch their favourite team can score points with their partners, by bringing them along for a stay at a luxury hotel. With the new football season about to start, fans from across the country will be flocking to Newcastle to watch the games at St James’ Park. And now long suffering football widows, who are often left at home, can also come along for the trip and enjoy a special stay at the award-winning Sandman Signature Hotel. The hotel, opposite St James’ Park, runs a special shopping package in conjunction with top department store Fenwick, which would be the perfect option for a partner not interested in the match but who would still like to enjoy what Newcastle has to offer. “Because we are the closest hotel to St James’ Park, we’re very popular during home games,” said Paul Smith, General Manager of the Sandman Signature Hotel. “We know that partners are often left at home so we’re offering our guests the option to build in the shopping package which means that the non-football fan can still enjoy a luxury stay in a great city. The Sandman Signature – which was named the Large Hotel of the Year in the prestigious North East Tourism Awards – has put together the shopping option which includes stay at the hotel with a goodie bag left in the room for guests on their arrival containing one £50 Fenwick gift card along with a range of his and hers fragrance and beauty treats. The bag includes discount vouchers for some of the store’s famous cosmetic brands and for the in-store Regis Hair and Beauty Centre along with invitations to enjoy complimentary consultations or pampering treatments at the store’s many cosmetic concessions, which include Jo Malone boutique, Clarins Skin Spa or Trueskin Medispa and Advanced Skin Clinic. The hotel has also a range of packages available for midweek guests who may be travelling to the North East on business or who want to enjoy what the area has to offer for a longer period of time.
