The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Birmingham City

Modern Comfort in the Heart of Birmingham


Holiday Inn Birmingham City is a modern, stylish hotel set right in the center of Birmingham, making it a top pick for travelers who want to stay close to the action. Just a 5-minute walk from Birmingham New Street Station and the Bullring shopping center, this hotel places you in the buzz of the city with easy access to restaurants, bars, and live music venues. The rooms are sleek and comfortable with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and 24-hour room service to keep you going no matter what time your concert ends.

Why Concert-goers love it


Location is everything, and this hotel delivers—it’s within walking distance of some of Birmingham’s biggest venues, and being just steps from New Street Station makes late-night transport simple. Rooms are well soundproofed, so you can still get a good night’s sleep after a high-energy gig. With 24-hour room service and a flexible 3 PM check-in, you can arrive, recharge, and recover on your schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends heading to a show together
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a weekend of music and city vibes
  • Fans who want a quiet, comfy place to chill post-show
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers looking for value and convenience

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant, The Lobby on Hill Street, offers a wide variety of food and drinks to suit all tastes. Expect late-night dining options and 24/7 room service—perfect after a post-gig buzz. While breakfast isn’t served all day, the location means you’re never far from a café or eatery that is.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re surrounded by Birmingham’s vibrant nightlife. From cozy pubs to buzzing cocktail lounges and clubs, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to wherever the night takes you. The hotel bar is a relaxed spot to wind down with a local craft beer or a nightcap.

What People Say


Guests love the central location and the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviews highlight how easy it is to walk to venues, shops, and restaurants. Clean, quiet rooms and comfy beds also get frequent praise—especially important after a night on your feet.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that parts of the hotel feel a bit dated, and that the elevators can be slow during peak times. But most agree it’s a small price to pay for the location and value.

The Bottom Line


Holiday Inn Birmingham City is a clean, comfortable, and super-convenient base for anyone catching a concert in Birmingham.

Kevin S, Derby, visiting Birmingham Hippodrome

Stayed one night to go and see Billy Elliot at the Hippodrome. Really close to the theatre and station. Large choice of restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Central location and close to the theatre. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.
Disliked: Nothing bad at all.

Katie, Plymouth, visiting O2 Academy Birmingham

Had everything we could have asked for - bath robes, refreshments, TV, bathroom essentials, comfy beds, HUGE mirrors, heating, a bath. Everything was GREAT!

Liked: Everything else was amazing! Felt like a princess, everything was beautiful!
Disliked: Being on the 9th floor - VERY loud winds.

Samantha L, London

I would go back again and stay. I prefer the Holiday Inn to most other hotels.

Liked: Nobody bothered us whilst there and the room was nice and the windows opened so it was really nice.
Disliked: The attitude of the head of cleaning - he was very rude upon leaving the hotel. He came into my room uninvited because he saw my boyfriend and his friend talking whilst I had the door open and the cleaner was tidying my room. When I asked why he was stood there staring at us, he had an attitude and said something about the welfare of the cleaner?

Toby, Nuneaton

Had a lovely stay at this hotel while visiting for a gig in the city. Nice large, clean room with a lovely clean bathroom and shower. As the check out was 12 it would have been nice to have had a lie in after a late night, but struggled due to poor double glazing and sound proofing from noisy main road. But generally a good stay.

Liked: Clean room; large bed; great location.
Disliked: Noisy room/bad double glazing.

Corrie Mon, 9 June 2025

My stay was convenient, stress-free,...

Liked: I really appreciated how helpful the staff were — both at the front desk and throughout the hotel. They even helped me book a reliable taxi, which made things much easier. The location of the Holiday Inn was also excellent.
Disliked: liked the shower, the quiet room, the breakfast canteen, and the convenient location — but my favourite part was how helpful the staff were. One downside was that 2 pillows were mouldy, which I assume was an unfortunate oversight.
