The Staincliffe Hotel is situated within a short walk of various local amenities, entertainment venues, and the beach, as well as attractions like Hartlepool Marina, the town centre, the retail park, and the Headland.
Current owners have considered plans for the potential demolition and redevelopment of the site into 35 apartments, providing sea front residential dwellings.

Alternatively, with necessary planning permissions, the building could be converted for a number of uses or restored and returned to a hotel and entertainment venue/serviced accommodation.
The Staincliffe Hotel, built in 1869, was originally a house for wealthy Hartlepool merchant Thomas Walker.
Following Walker’s death, the property changed hands several times and was used as a convalescence home for ship workers before being converted into a hotel in 1929.
The hotel operated until its closure in 2023.
