The Grand Hotel Birmingham

An inspiring mix of old and new, The Grand Hotel Birmingham combines original Victorian architecture with striking modern features. This iconic sleeping beauty is being brought back to life to create a luxury hotel for Birmingham in the 21st century. From the ornate Louis XIV-style Grand Ballroom to the stunning duplex penthouse apartment, The Grand is filled with extraordinary spaces. Original, listed features have been lovingly restored; and the interiors have been reimagined by Robert Angell International, bringing comfort and glamour in equal measure.
