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.

    This was a lovely experience. Anything I needed, the hotel was willing to provide. Abdul was a great guy who helped us with our luggage from start to end when we left the hotel. Just be aware that theres no parking at the hotel, and the nearest one is about a 5 minute walk which is expensive.

    Loved my stay at the Grand Hotel , breakfast was delicious although only 1 sausage on a full English was a bit tight! Room was nice and clean and very smart , chrome cast on the TV is useful Shower had lots of power and was red hotel My pet peeve about hotels is when the rooms aren't quiet on a night , I was able turn off the AC and there were no annoying other sounds So I had a brilliant night's sleep. Gym looked cool , will try it out next time.

    Absolutely incredible! We were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday in the same place we celebrated her birthday last year, so it was a birthday and sort of an anniversary celebration and it was just as perfect as last year. The venue is truly beautiful, the service was amazing and the food was incredible. When we stayed last year, the Grand Suite was stunningly beautiful. We didn't stay this year, but will certainly look at making a visit a yearly tradition as a treat to look forward to every year. Keep up the amazing work! Much love to all at The Grand Hotel ❤️
