Hotel
Radisson Blu Hotel, Birmingham
Birmingham city centre, around 4 minutes on foot from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
On Holloway Circus in Birmingham city centre, 280 metres from New Street: that is where Radisson Blu Hotel, Birmingham sits. New Street is around 4 minutes on foot, which is about as short as a rail arrival in Birmingham gets.
For an arena night it is around 20 minutes on foot.
Within about fifteen minutes on foot: Birmingham New Street Station (4 min), Birmingham Hippodrome (5 min), O2 Academy Birmingham (6 min) and the Bullring (8 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.
It holds 7.7 out of 10 on Booking from 5,276 reviews, a normal sample for the city. That is 0.6 below 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 £113 a night. That is about £15 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 Birmingham City Centre by IHG, 63 metres away. Against that one, this hotel rates 0.5 lower.
The thing that separates it from the Holiday Inn a few hundred metres away is the building. This is the residential tower on Holloway Circus, so the rooms are high up and the views are the reason people remember it. The Holiday Inn on Smallbrook Queensway is a conventional low-rise block, rates a little lower, and sits marginally closer to the station.
It qualifies for our best city centre hotels comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The main trade-off is that there is no hotel car park, so a driver needs one of the public garages around Holloway Circus and the walk that comes with it.
