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.

September may mark the end of the summer holidays, but the city is full of fun activities and events to enjoy this month with some of our personal picks including:

• Explore the history of our amazing city and discover the best of Brum with a number of events taking place during Birmingham Heritage Week (12th - 21st).

• Cricket fans can enjoy the Vitality Blast T20 Finals Day (13th) as the competition comes to an exciting conclusion with both semi-finals and the final all in one day at Edgbaston.

• Plenty of options for foodies this month as both the Free From Festival (13th-14th) and the New Street Eats Autumn Edition (25th - 28th) providing an opportunity to taste a variety of delicious dishes in the heart of the city.
