Located at the centre of the United Kingdom’s second largest city is the Thistle Birmingham City. The hotel’s position is convenient for those looking to explore this vast city, particularly for those visiting a top sporting occasion at Aston Villa’s Villa Park, Birmingham City’s St Andrews or Warwickshire’s Edgbaston cricket ground for example. Another popular attraction in the city is the Bullring Shopping Centre with its 160 different shops and 25 restaurants.
The Thistle Birmingham City is certainly not the most glamorous hotel in the city but what it lacks in beauty it makes up for in location; Birmingham International Airport is just nine miles from the front door while New Street Station is a 10 minute walk. Those travelling by car can make use of the NCP which is situated right next to the hotel and is available at a discount. While in the city why not spend some time visiting popular attractions such as Cadbury World in the Bourneville section of the city, the National Sea Life Centre, Dudley Zoo and Castle and the Black Country Living Museum. As well as the Thistle Birmingham City there are two other hotels from the same group in the central part of the country, namely those at Stratford-upon-Avon and at East Midlands Airport.
Birmingham’s Thistle contains more than 100 guest rooms including some standard rooms and some suites. The rooms, as with the rest of the hotel, feature wireless internet access making them particularly suitable for business users. The property has a comfortable restaurant in which to dine, while there is also a bar to complement which serves a variety of drinks and also serves snacks. Providing opportunity for a range of events and activities the Thistle is home to 10 function rooms. The facilities can cater for a number of different types of meeting from weddings and other celebrations to boardroom meetings and conferences. The largest of the rooms can accommodate for up to 180 guests.
