The luxury redevelopment of the former Duchess High School will be officially opened by the Duke of Northumberland on Saturday.
The hotel offers 48 rooms, including 14 suites, and Northumberland Estates is confident that the new addition will have a positive impact on the town.
The hope is that the hotel, alongside existing shops and attractions, will entice a new generation of tourists to the county, while local residents are being encouraged to make full use of its new bar and restaurant.
