Where To Stay

add to Travel Bag (NEW)

Accommodation in Birmingham tends to form in three clusters, which are based around the city centre, the Five Ways roundabout & Hagley Road (A456), and in the area around the airport and the NEC.

The city centre offers the widest choice of accommodation. Many hotels here cater specifically to the needs of business visitors, offering conference facilities and business lunch options. The Comfort Inn, The Burlington Hotel and the Copthorne Hotel offer comfortable 4-star accommodation and attentive service. They're all within a stone's throw of the main railway station, the central coach station and Birmingham city centre. Hyatt Regency Hotel, considered one of Birmingham's finest hotels, adjacent to the International Convention Centre, offers deluxe accommodation in the most convenient location possible for both the ICC and the National Indoor Arena (NIA), which is also the case with the Novotel Birmingham Centre. The Crowne Plaza Birmingham, Forte Posthouse Birmingham City on Queensway, The Royal Angus Thistle and the inexpensive Chamberlain Park Hotel, are all located within the city centre allowing visitors to take full advantage of the city's amenities.

Birmingham's airport and the NEC, only approximately 18 miles outside the city centre, also offer visitors a wide choice. The vast Stakis Birmingham Metropole Hotel is actually located within the grounds of the NEC, and The Belfry, The Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport and The Novotel Birmingham Airport are also in this area.

The greatest choice of accommodation is afforded to commuters travelling to Birmingham by car. There are lots of small hotels and Bed & Breakfasts within easy access of motorways, with connections to all parts of the country as well as Birmingham city centre. The Five Ways roundabout and Hagley Road area is good for hotels, for precisely this reason. The luxurious Marriott Hotel has an excellent location on the Hagley Road, Quality Cobden Hotel and The Thistle Birmingham Edgbaston both offer 4-star comfort within this area, and the moderately priced Plough & Harrow is smaller, but just as handily positioned for commuters.
