Why we like it

Hotel du Vin Birmingham works especially well for a Gourmet Getaway because the restaurant keeps dinner naturally connected to the overnight stay, while the location makes it easy to combine dinner with a proper city break.

Eat

Bistro du Vin

Hotel du Vin Birmingham's Bistro du Vin follows the group's familiar French and British bistro model: seasonal produce, steaks, fish, classic sauces and a strong wine focus in a warm, softly lit dining room.

It is polished but informal rather than destination fine dining. Dinner is served Sunday-Thursday 5pm-9pm and Friday-Saturday 5pm-9.30pm. Sunday lunch and afternoon tea broaden the offer for longer stays.

The bistro is on site in the converted Victorian building. The appeal is the combination of atmospheric surroundings, straightforward bistro cooking and a city-centre location.

Sleep

Upstairs, Hotel du Vin Birmingham’s bedrooms and suites are individually styled, combining bold statement beds, luxurious linens, and deep baths. Rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and contemporary comforts, mixing original architectural details with playful, boutique touches. Guests can expect Egyptian cotton, rainfall showers, and White Company toiletries as standard. The setting is calm and cocooning, ideal for anyone keen to sink into city-centre luxury after a night of food and wine. There is no spa, but thoughtful extras like room service, a residents’ bar, and hearty breakfasts add to the sense of pampering and escape.

Retreat

Basing yourself here puts all of Birmingham’s highlights within walking distance: the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Symphony Hall and the bustling Bullring shopping district all less than 10 minutes away on foot. Stroll along the canals, explore independent shops in the Jewellery Quarter, or catch a show at the Hippodrome. For a real break, linger at the hotel’s Bubble Lounge with a cocktail, or book a private dining space for a celebratory gathering. New Street Station is a 10-minute walk, so arrivals by train are quick and easy. Birmingham Airport can be reached in around 20 minutes by taxi. Whether you’re after a cultural appetite, retail therapy or a weekend of comfort and cuisine, Hotel du Vin & Bistro Birmingham delivers a polished, personal experience in one of the Midlands’ most exciting cities.
