Dating back to Victorian times, the Mercure Darlington King's Hotel is one of Darlington's most iconic buildings. Located at the heart of Darlington, this hotel has played host to important guests, visitors, and also hosted many notable celebrations and events over the years.
After suffering a devastating fire, the hotel was carefully restored to it's former glory and re-opened in 2012 with 83 bedrooms, 3 designated meeting rooms, and the fantastically restored King's Ballroom. The hotel also has a leading restaurant, Carriages, which has the best views of any restaurant in town, and our cocktail bar, which is a real hidden gem.
This stunning hotel attracts people from all over the North East, and we are extremely proud to be Darlington's premier hotel, and wedding and event venue.
