What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the look is quite a bit more fresh and crisp than the average business hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The brick towpaths of Gas Street Basin sit steps away, where narrowboats dock alongside lively waterside pubs.
The rooms
Full-length windows look out over the city skyline and canal network, bringing daylight into straightforward, comfortable bedrooms.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wide windows bring daylight across the 16-metre heated pool, where wicker loungers sit beside a raised whirlpool.
The spa
Five therapy suites host massage treatments and foam scrubs. A cold plunge, sauna, and steam room complete the thermal space.
Aria Restaurant
Greek marble pillars and indoor trees stand beneath the glass atrium, where tables are set for seasonal Mediterranean dining.
At the table
The Gentleman & Scholar Pub serves draft ales beside an open fireplace, with heated terrace seating facing Bridge Street.
How it began
Birmingham City Council donated the canal-side plot in a public-private partnership to ensure the adjacent convention centre had an international anchor.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
