On the seafront at Seaton Carew, The Norton Hotel is the North East's go-to base for contractors and teams working away from home. Repositioned into a year-round workforce accommodation business, it serves the region's largest industrial and energy employers. Fully contactless and keyless, with sea-view rooms, communal kitchens and secure parking, it's built around the realities of working away. Practical, comfortable and quietly setting the standard. www.thenortonhotel.com
