The Grand Hotel Birmingham set for summer opening

The Grand Hotel in Birmingham is set to re-open this summer following a refurbishment worth around £30m.

The Grade II listed building, which overlooks Colmore Row, will be home to 185 rooms and suites as well as the centrepiece Grosvenor ballroom.

The restoration also includes penthouse suites with spectacular views across St Phillip’s Cathedral, a sunken rooftop garden terrace, two new bars, restaurant, gymnasium, meeting rooms, collaboration areas and event spaces.

Cody Bradshaw, managing director, head of international hotels at Starwood Capital Group, said: “We’re proud to be working with Hortons’ Estate, whose founder, Isaac Horton, originally built the hotel in the 1870s, on a shared vision to create one of the most prestigious hotels in the UK.

“The restoration of this stunning grande dame building is another milestone in what is an exciting period of transformation for this vibrant city. We look forward to providing visitors to Birmingham – and locals alike with a truly one-of-a-kind destination that celebrates the splendour of this landmark building but with a 21st-century luxury experience.”
