The City Centre location for the hotel means everything Birmingham has to offer is right on the doorstep, with the wider West Midlands region within easy reach.

If you're visiting the city for leisure, you'll find Bullring and Grand Central, The Mailbox and the various independent shopping hubs from the Great Western Arcade to Birmingham New Street, plenty to satisfy those in need of some retail therapy. The many attractions of the city are well within walking distance too, from the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to Brindley Place, the Chinese Quarter and the Gay Village. We're also a short journey away from the city's premiere entertainment hubs, from sports venues such as Edgbaston and Villa Park to music and performance spaces like the Utilita Arena and upcoming destination The Warehouse - set to open in December 2025.

The end of the year is fast approaching, and we've got some crackers in mind if you're looking to make the most of your December stay this festive season:

• Symphony Hall are raising the curtain on Christmas with a number of festive favourite films performed in concert throughout the month, with The Muppet Christmas Carol (8th), Love Actually (12th), Home Alone (22nd) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (24th) all being shown with a live orchestra playing the score live-to-film.

• The Birmingham Royal Ballet are bringing the Christmas classic 'The Nutcracker' to life once more, with performances taking place from the 2nd through to the 13th December

• And the Frankfurt Christmas Markets continue to offer the perfect way to see Birmingham city centre in full festive glory during the most wonderful time of the year!
