WORK to refurbish the Assembly Rooms in Newcastle city centre has been carried out.

The £75,000 renovation to enhance the venue’s interior has seen extensive floor refits throughout the venue, including new carpet fitted to the four main meeting and events suites, including the renowned Chandelier suite.

The addition of elegant new furniture has also dramatically upgraded the venue.

The venue’s managing director, Antony Michaelides, said: “Since my father and uncle acquired the venue back in 1974 and I took the reins over two decades ago it has always been our ethos to pay meticulous attention to detail in the maintenance of the building.

“The recent refurbishment of the Assembly Rooms is an ongoing process and we will continue to invest to maintain the exquisite fabric of one of England’s most beautiful buildings.”

The renovation work follows refurbishment that took place last year which included new carpet to the ground floor reception, grand staircase and first floor reception and the installation of LED lighting to the premier ballroom suite, adding to its opulent setting by creating various colour washes on the walls.

Best known for the grandeur of The Chandelier suite, owners say the Grade II listed building has been lovingly transformed.

The interior has been brought up-to-date, while maintaining the Georgian architecture with ornate ceilings, decorative plasterwork and rare Rococo crystal chandeliers

Mr Michaeldies said: "We really do offer something special here.”
