The two hotels will form a central part of the new scheme on Gateshead's waterfront, which also includes an international arena, conference and exhibition centre.
The 187-bedroom Novotel will have 187 bedrooms, a restaurant and bar plus meeting and conference facilities. The ibis hotel will have 140 bedrooms.
The new Novotel and ibis hotels will be managed by Vine Hotels and are expected to open in 2024.
