Seaham Hall, the North East’s multi award-winning five-star hotel and Serenity Spa, proudly unveils Geko – a stunning new restaurant concept that reimagines the former Ozone as a vibrant hub of Japanese-inspired dining, wellness, and sensory indulgence.

Now open to spa guests, hotel visitors and local food lovers alike, Geko is an invitation to experience something entirely new. A beautifully refurbished space where tradition meets innovation, with bold flavours, artful presentation and an exciting twist on Asian fusion cuisine.

Situated within Seaham Hall’s renowned Serenity Spa, Geko offers a dynamic menu designed with wellness in mind, making it the perfect complement to a rejuvenating spa day or a luxurious evening meal. With the warmer months in full swing, guests can also take full advantage of Geko’s terrace, one of the North East’s most tranquil outdoor dining spots, ideal for cocktails, sharing plates, or a moment of stillness as the sun sets over the coast.

“Our vision for Geko was to create more than just a restaurant, we’ve created a new experience,” says Damian Broom, Executive Chef at Seaham Hall. “Geko celebrates bold Japanese flavours while staying true to our ethos of indulgence and extraordinary hospitality.

From the finest Northern ingredients sourced from the region to the boldest flavours and twists, the menu at Geko is set to surprise and delight with something for everyone.”

The newly imagined interiors feature a chic, contemporary style influenced by Eastern aesthetics – dark woods, statement lighting, elegant tableware and an Instagram worthy willow tree, delivering a sense of theatre and calm in equal measure. Guests can expect a standout menu featuring vibrant small and large plates, with everything from karaage and kushiyaki to ramen and donburi, along with curated cocktails, all crafted with balance, flavour, and finesse.

Geko is open daily for spa guests and evening diners, with bookings now available via the Seaham Hall website https://seaham-hall.co.uk/dining/geko/.

With recent accolades including a place among the Top 1000 Hotels in the World (La Liste 2025) and finalist status for Independent Hotel of the Year, Seaham Hall continues to cement its place as a must-visit destination – proudly flying the flag for the North East on a national stage.
