Serviced apartments are perfect for families. You can enjoy all the benefits of a hotel with the added comfort of being able to spread out in your own family space. As more places re-open and with the sweeping views you will have from your apartment, being in the city centre couldn’t be more fun.

1) Banish boredom

Taking a family holiday in Birmingham can be great fun – no matter what the British weather is doing. And staying right in the heart of the city means that you have brilliant entertainment right on your doorstep. Birmingham has lots of indoor options ranging from museums and art galleries to sports and shopping. It’s a very child-friendly place to take a break.

Enjoying the ultimate stress-free shopping trip. With such a great location in the centre of Birmingham, our serviced apartments are truly a shopper’s paradise. You have the mighty Bullring and Grand Central shopping centres next door. Enjoy some retail therapy and then relax back at your apartment.
Burning off excess energy in the city’s child-friendly squares and parks.
Take an easy day trip to nearby Stratford-upon-Avon and indulge yourselves in all things Shakespeare. In the summer months, you can travel there and back by steam train.

2) Food glorious food!

Each of our Birmingham serviced apartments has a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area with all the kit you need. Having a well-equipped kitchen makes rustling up a bowl of pasta is as easy as it is at home.

Want to eat out? There are lots of child-friendly restaurants a hop, skip and a jump away as we’re so central. You can also have takeaways delivered to your apartment door. Basically, being in an apartment gives you the ultimate flexibility and keeps everyone happy.

3) Sheer Practicality

From warming bottles in the microwave, flinging a wash in after a toddler ‘incident’ to making an espresso in your Illy machine, to being able to introduce your teens to the joy of ironing, you have all the comforts of home in a beautifully designed apartment.

4) Space to have fun (and have time out)

There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably and relax after a fun-packed day out in the city. It’s so much more relaxing than squashing into a family hotel room. Our two-bedroom Maxi apartments give you two bedrooms and two ensuite bathrooms plus a very spacious living room/kitchen diner. Our penthouses give you all that plus a spacious, private balcony.

5) Relaxing evenings

Our Clubman, Olympian, Maxi and Penthouse serviced apartments have separate bedrooms, which means that when the small people sleep, you can enjoy the rest of your evening with a glass of fizz (or a cup of complimentary hot chocolate!) taking in the rooftop views of the city.

6) Value (and style)

Your Birmingham family stay will also be great value. Rates are per apartment, not per person, and there are no hidden extras to pay for (unlike some other Birmingham family hotels). We also make sure that you have everything you need to make a great cuppa (or coffee) during your stay and provide kitchen essentials such as oil, balsamic vinegar etc.

7) Family-friendly freebies

We won’t ask you to pay for travel cots or high chairs. You can prebook these (and very cute nightlights too).

Our complimentary Cool for Kids package with free gifts and goodies always gets things off to a swinging start.

8) Room to recharge

We’re located right in the city centre and that is very child-friendly. Get out and explore then pop back any time to your apartment with the kids and grab a bite to eat, play some board games (supplied), watch TV or take a nap – you choose. You’ll also have free, high-quality Wi-Fi for your entire stay.

9) Putting your feet up

You are having a break and that’s exactly what a serviced apartment delivers. You will find everything ready to use on arrival (beds made up etc) and it’s our job to clean the apartment after you check out not yours.

During your stay, you can enjoy a free, daily maid service. Just let us know if you’d rather opt-out of it.
