A GRAND WELCOME
From the time it opened its doors in 1879, the Grand Hotel has lived up to its name. A one-of-a-kind building. An architectural treasure trove with the historic Grand Ballroom at its heart. And a beloved part of Birmingham’s fabric. Now undergone a £50 Million restoration from top to toe, it offers the best in modern service and hospitality in a setting where anything seems possible. With 185 rooms and suites, the hotel is an inspiring mix of French Renaissance, Victorian and Art Deco features, all crowned by a penthouse that give guests spectacular views over St. Philip’s Cathedral and the city beyond. Every corner has been designed for grand moments. From the magical rooftop garden terrace to the glamorous madeleine bar and Isaacs restaurant that captures the excitement and spirit of the city. Expect state-of the-art meeting rooms, welcoming boardrooms that set the scene for any event, and the Grand Ballroom to make every occasion historic. Welcome to a truly grand hotel.
The Grand Ballroom is a Louis XIV-style room that originally opened in 1895. This is an event space with genuine X-factor: original plaster mouldings have been restored; double-height ceilings provide a sense of grandeur; and there is ample room for banqueting and live entertainment under one roof.

October 2024We stayed the night and attended a wedding. Sayed was always available throughout the wedding to ensure that all out of our needs were met, and the needs of the bride and groom. He ensured everything ran smoothly. We were so pleased to have his help for the duration of the function.

August 2024I booked afternoon tea here for a midweek treat. The tea is served in a very comfortable lounge adjacent to the bar. The afternoon tea was impeccable with sandwiches, patisserie, and warm scones with clotted cream and preserves. The range of tea on offer was very comprehensive. The patisserie was especially noteworthy. The service was excellent, and all staff encountered were welcoming and helpful. A joyful way to spend an afternoon in a calm, relaxing environment.

September 2024An absolutely beautiful hotel , such a lovely setting , the staircase is gorgeous, the bars and restaurants are also gorgeous. My guests and myself had afternoon tea , which was so lovely , the food was delightful and the service was excellent. It wasn't cheap but for a treat it was a lovely day out . We passed by Issac's restaurant which looks amazing! We plan a return visit to taste the menu! Looking forward to it .

September 2024I had the pleasure of staying at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham for two nights 🏙️ What an incredible asset to Birmingham. The overall stay was amazing, the staff were so attentive and happy to help with anything. The bedrooms were finished to a high degree, beautiful beds and linen, stunning furniture and finishing touches. The bathroom… oh my the bathroom was beautiful 😍 (practically living in the shower). You had very amenity in the room, from a selection of tea/coffee, iron, hair dryer, mini bar that was stocked up, bath robes, slippers etc! Honestly it was faultless and I cannot wait to go back ❤️
