Hotel
Crowne Plaza Birmingham City Centre, an IHG Hotel
Birmingham city centre, around 8 minutes on foot from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
You will find Crowne Plaza Birmingham City Centre, an IHG Hotel on Central Square, Birmingham city centre, 0.32 miles from New Street. New Street is around 8 minutes on foot and the Bullring around 15 minutes on foot, so the centre is walkable without planning transport.
Arriving by train, it is around 8 minutes on foot from the platforms. For an arena night it is around 15 minutes on foot. On parking, own car park, charged. A garage beneath the hotel, run by a third party operator. Several guests report penalty charges from the numbered bays, so register your vehicle at reception.
Within about fifteen minutes on foot: Broad Street (5 min), the ICC and Symphony Hall (5 min), Birmingham New Street Station (8 min) and Utilita Arena Birmingham (15 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.
It holds 8.8 out of 10 on Booking from 2,828 reviews, a normal sample for the city. That is 0.5 above the 8.3 average across the other 22 rated properties we compare in Birmingham city centre.
In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £115 a night. That is about £17 above the £98 median across the other 23 priced properties we compare in Birmingham city centre. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre by IHG, 25 metres away. Against that one, this hotel parks your car where that one cannot.
It qualifies for our hotels with parking, best city centre hotels and last-minute hotels comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The other side of that: nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 42 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.
