ACCOMMODATION

4* Radisson Blu Birmingham City Centre

We've specifically chosen Birmingham's Radisson Blu for this trip as we've stayed here plenty of times and we always love it (and in case you didn't know - our expectations are pretty high!).

The hotel is a stonesthrow from the Bullring where you'll find all of Birmingham's shops and restaurants, and a short 10-15 minute walk from Brindleyplace where you'll find plenty of places to eat and drink aswell as the Arena.

It has a free gym, free wifi throughout and a 10/10 breakfast.

The staff are all super friendly and the rooms are great too - they all come with a TV, hairdryer, table & chairs, a great power shower, iron & ironing board and free water, tea & coffee.
