Crowne Plaza

A four-star spot in the heart of Birmingham, this is a good example of the Crowne Plaza brand. Each spacious room enjoys air-conditioning, flat-screen TV facilities (with pay-per-view), a slick en suite bathroom and 24-hour room service. The hotel offers its own restaurant and bar, with a modern-European food menu and cocktails. The Bullring, Birmingham Cathedral and the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery are all within walking distance.
