Stay at a Grand institution
The Grand Hotel, the most sumptuous of Victorian Birmingham's hotels, had hosted notable guests including Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin before falling into ruin and closing permanently in 2000. This neighborhood landmark on Colmore Row reopened in May 2021 following a £45 million refurbishment after a 20-year hibernation.
This Grade II-listed structure, which was first built in 1879, still has some of its lovely original elements, such as the renowned grand staircase with gilded marble columns and the outstanding grand ballroom in the Louis IV style. The hotel's chic rooms also provide breathtaking views of the grounds of St. Phillips Cathedral (known locally as Pigeon Park).
They hope you'll be a part of it as the most recent chapter in our history comes to life, whether you're staying at the hotel, dining at one of their pubs or restaurants, hosting a meeting, or going to an event. Undeniably, staying at a Grand institution is one of the Best Things to Do in Birmingham.
