At Tasker & Shaw, we believe the process of commissioning a made-to-measure suit should be an effortless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. For gentlemen travelling to visit our studios, or those who simply wish to turn their tailoring appointment into a well-deserved getaway, we have partnered with some of our favourite local hotels.
We are delighted to offer our clients exclusive, discounted rates at these hand-picked locations across Newcastle and Carlisle.
Set within a magnificently restored Edwardian building that originally served as the city's post office, The Halston beautifully blends historic character with modern luxury. It operates as a high-end aparthotel, offering spacious, self-catering apartments that come complete with well-equipped kitchen facilities and stylish living areas.
Located just a short walk from our Carlisle studio, it is incredibly convenient for visiting clients. Despite the independent setup, you still enjoy full hotel comforts. The vibrant Bartons Yard café bar is a wonderful spot for a relaxed afternoon coffee or evening drink, while the superb Penny Blue restaurant serves creative tapas and fantastic grill selections. It is a flexible, highly rated option for those who appreciate having their own space alongside a refined touch.
Synonymous with quiet luxury and impeccable service, Dakota Newcastle offers an elegant retreat with a sophisticated, relaxing atmosphere. Located near the Quayside, this exceptional hotel balances high standards with a welcoming, boutique feel. It even features a large well stocked humidor and a cigar terrace.
The rooms are beautifully appointed with modern comforts, thoughtful finishes, and wonderfully comfortable beds to ensure a restful night. For clients looking to unwind after your consultation, the hotel features a fantastic cocktail bar and an excellent Grill restaurant serving classic British dishes.
With its refined social spaces and a modern fitness centre, it is the perfect choice for a stylish and memorable getaway.
Situated right in the heart of the city centre, and a five minute walk from both Central station and our studio the Maldron provides a bright, modern, and highly comfortable stay. It serves as an excellent, uncomplicated base if you wish to step out and explore, with local landmarks like Intu Eldon Square just opposite.
The spacious, air-conditioned rooms feature great beds, en-suite facilities with walk-in showers, and complimentary tea and coffee to help you settle in. With an inviting in-house restaurant serving British cuisine, a relaxed bar, and a private courtyard, the Maldron offers an effortless and welcoming environment during your time visiting our Newcastle workspace.
Set right on the Strand, just a few minutes from our London studio, Wilde Aparthotels brings a smart, self-catering edge to the heart of Covent Garden. Inspired by Oscar Wilde's life and work, the rooms and studios blend hotel comfort with the freedom of your own space — think Nespresso machines, rainfall showers and premium beds, alongside a kitchenette for those who'd rather not eat out every night of their stay.
It's an easy base for exploring the West End, with Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and the London theatres all within a short walk. Whether you're in town for a single fitting or making a weekend of it, Wilde offers a relaxed, well-placed spot to unwind before or after your appointment with us.
