"As close as it is to London — globally speaking at least — Birmingham’s hotel scene could scarcely be more different. Simply put, with neither the immense demand nor the astronomical real estate costs, England’s second city feels less pressure to innovate. However, there’s a lot more to hotels than novelty, and nowhere is that more true than at the high end, a space the Hyatt Regency Birmingham occupies with confidence. Though design trends come and go, and the concept of the boutique hotel is a relatively new invention, the basic notion of luxury is something much more timeless." - Tablet Hotels
