Hyatt Regency Birmingham

I'm still stuffed and it's 11.30am on Monday! For £20 a head (£11.25 for the kids), you get three courses of quality food and gentle piano/bass duo that help it all go down gently - especially if the night before has been a little hectic. The starter is buffet style with fish, meats, pasta, pastries - just help yourself but don't go too mad, leave room for the main course. I chose the chicken in parma ham with garlic mash but the beef and fish options looked equally delicious. As for pudding... I don't know where to begin, the buffet choice and quality was incredible! They only serve till 2ish so book early!

This hotel is starting to get a bit dated, but because they look after it so well it still feels luxurious.

The food is good, but the restaurant is in a central atrium which actually makes it feel a bit cold and airy (I've never really seen more than a few people in it either).

The rooms are of a good size, comfortable and with great views across Birmingham (but you might not like them if you are afraid of heights).

Only down side is parking - you have to park down the road and it is a ***** pain... so be warned!

Great views of the city and you could not be any closer to such places as the ICC and NIA as well as Broad Street. Nice, pleasant rooms and friendly staff. Treat yourself to a stay at the Hyatt.
