Destination Birmingham and Hotels

The city centre is a fusion of attractive squares, modern shopping arcades, diverse pubs, clubs and restaurants and fine museums, theatres and art galleries – truly a World City. The new Birmingham Bullring shopping centre ( Europe’s largest city centre shopping development) is an incredible place.
It has the equivalent of over 26 football pitches worth of shops, boutiques and restaurants including the new Selfridges store, housed in one of the most striking and unique buildings anywhere in the world.
