This top rated Birmingham hotel comes with an impressive 4-star rating. Situated on Wharfside Street, the views from the high bedroom windows can be spectacular. The hotel sits right on the river, allowing for water views, ducks, and relaxing walks removed from the hustle and bustle of Birmingham city centre.

The décor in the AC hotel by Marriott in Birmingham is a neutral, muted palate. It has the same kind of energy as a relaxation day at the spa. Greys, pale browns, and pine coloured wooden panelling, all come together to give this place the wow factor. A stay here is calm and tranquil. Like a little piece of peace in the middle of a city.

The hotel has a lounge and bar onsite, with a fitness centre included. There are communal seating areas and beautifully kept rooms. Only 200 yards from the Cube, the AC Hotel by Marriott is central enough to be within walking distance of the main attractions.

The hotel has perks as being part of the Marriott group, too. For example, tell them it is your birthday and they will arrange balloons and a birthday card for you. If you want rose petals scattered around the room or champagne on arrival, both are available for small fees.
