White Swan Hotel, Grade II listed hotel in Alnwick, England
The White Swan Hotel displays a two-story ashlar stone facade with slate roofing and a row of dormers along Bondgate Within. Interior spaces lead through former guest wings and public areas used over centuries.
The hotel originated in the 18th century and served as the main coaching inn on the Great North Road from 1822 onward. Parts of the interior come from RMS Olympic, which was scrapped in the 1930s.
The Olympic Suite measures 59 by 63 feet and displays original furniture and decorative elements from the RMS Olympic's First Class restaurant. Guests can walk through spaces that once belonged to one of the world's largest passenger ships.
The property sits within walking distance of the castle and offers 55 rooms plus two dining areas. Travelers on the A1 can reach the site easily and explore the town on foot.
A grand staircase in the building was salvaged from RMS Olympic and shows authentic paneling, mirrors and stained-glass windows from the ocean liner. Guests climb the same steps once used by passengers at sea.
