Trip Advisor Review Rating:

The Hilton Birmingham Metropole is often praised for its friendly welcoming staff, a feat well achieved for a hotel of its size. This large hotel houses a heated indoor swimming pool, Ocean Rooms spa and LivingWell Health Club. A popular venue for those flying in and out of Birmingham Airport, the hotel also hosts a number of events, making use of its 33 banquet and meeting rooms.

For food and drink, the Hilton Birmingham Metropole has an impressive array of 5 options. Boulevard offers breakfast, a buffet-style lunch and main course menu for dinner. The a la carte menu is available from 6pm. Millers Restaurant and Bar can be found in the hotel’s conservatory. In addition to a la carte, there are gluten-free and dairy-free menus. If you’re after a lighter option of a sandwich or burger and alcoholic beverage, head to The Lounge. Enjoy reading the papers over a cappuccino or latte in Costa Coffee, or relax with a cold drink and sandwich. Finally, if you just want some time to yourself, take advantage of 24-hour room service.

Free WiFi is available in all public areas of the hotel; a necessity for business travellers and handy if you just want to catch up with emails or social media. A midday check-out time means you don’t have to rush off early – unless to catch a flight – but can instead enjoy a lay-in and leisurely breakfast in one of the hotel’s restaurants.

There is a complimentary shuttle service to and from Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International train station. The hotel is situated off the M42 and has plenty of car parking space if you are arriving by car.

Next time you book a flight to or from Birmingham Airport, make sure you also book parking and an overnight stay at nearby Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel. Whether your trip is for business or pleasure, alone or with others, this modern, comfortable hotel has everything you need for a stress-free stay.
