The Spotlight on Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel

Historic Charm Meets Concert-Ready Comfort in Birmingham

Set in peaceful, leafy grounds just a mile from central Birmingham, the Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel is a classic, traditional-style hotel with a modern twist. With elegant rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a welcoming vibe, it's a solid choice for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action while enjoying a restful night's sleep.
Only a short drive from the Bullring Shopping Centre and just minutes from major city venues, it blends old-school charm with modern convenience—perfect for a musical weekend getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just a short taxi or rideshare away from Birmingham's most popular venues. Whether you're headed to a late-night gig or an all-day festival, you'll appreciate the quiet surroundings for your post-show wind-down. Check-in starts at 14:00, so there’s time to drop your bags and freshen up before heading out. The hotel also offers on-site parking (for a fee), making it easy for road trippers. With food delivery options available right to your room or the lounge, it’s ideal when you're coming back hungry after a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a laid-back base near the action
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list act in the city
  • Couples making a weekend escape with live music as the highlight
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recover after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the on-site Terrace Restaurant, served with local flair. After that, it’s all about flexibility—thanks to partnerships with Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat, you can order a wide range of cuisines and enjoy them in the bar, lounge, or your room. From classic British fish & chips to Thai and Chinese, it’s all at your fingertips. Plates, cutlery, and condiments are provided with a smile—perfect after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxing than raving, it’s well-positioned for exploring Birmingham’s buzzing nightlife. Within a short distance, you’ll find bars, clubs, and lounges to keep the evening going. If you prefer a quieter night, Beauforts Bar offers a cozy spot to unwind with a drink before bed.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s peaceful location despite being so close to the city center. The friendly staff, clean, spacious rooms, and easy access to concert venues regularly earn praise. Many appreciate the option to order in food, especially after a late return from a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention the decor is a little dated in places, and the Wi-Fi can be patchy in certain rooms. Also, keep in mind that on-site parking isn’t free, so factor that into your budget.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable base close to Birmingham’s music scene, the Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel hits all the right notes without breaking the bank.
