Hotels in Birmingham
Birmingham, the UK’s second-largest city, has transformed its centre with new squares, shopping and canalside dining. It is known for the Bullring and Grand Central shopping, Cadbury World, a historic Jewellery Quarter and more miles of canal than Venice.
The city is also one of the country’s biggest event destinations, thanks to the NEC exhibition centre and Utilita Arena. Stay in the city centre for shopping and New Street station, Brindleyplace for canals and restaurants, or near the NEC and the airport for exhibitions and early flights.
