The Bar at Hotel La Tour
Dave M.

I was invited to sample from the new Grill La Tour menu. So I wrote my serious blog and here's my yelp one. I've not been invited to blog dinner before and it was quite a fun experience. It kinda helped that I knew the other bloggers. Oh and a large glass of Prosecco on arrival soon helped me relax. The new menu was much more straight forward than I'd expected it to be. I'd been feeling a little intimidated by the surroundings as it is a sleek and modern hotel with well turned out staff and an air being rather nice! I tried a Italian cheese and tomato salad for starters. And then my main was... STEAK AND BRUMMIE ALE PIE!!! Yes you read that right! I'll type it again BRUMMIE ALE!! The Ale was actually from Two Towers Brewery which I'm sure is on my to-do list. But the pie itself was flipping huge! The Sommelier (That's posh speak bringer of drinks/drinks expert) brought me a shot glass filled with Two towers ale! And then a whole bottle of it after he saw how excited I was. You must try this if you visit for dinner!! I had a "Jaffa Cake" for my pudding! It wasn't a jaffa cake at all but it was the elements that make up one. including a pot of melted chocolate! Well worth going to if you are looking for somewhere intimate or to impress a group! I was very impressed!

Afternoon tea, the third part
Caroline B.

I've tried afternoon tea at a few places in Birmingham now, but rarely does anywhere do it as well as a good hotel. With that in mind, my hopes were high for La Tour, especially as I already know I love its modern but-almost-retro-20s look and its very nice cocktails. I took my sister as a birthday treat and I think I did well! We were directed to two armchairs with enormous backs, from which we could just see the guitarist and pianist who both (separately) entertained us that day (I think live music is weekends only but I might be wrong). Perfect sound level so we could easily talk. The cocktails on the afternoon tea menu were all perfectly suited, light and fresh. I ordered an 1889 because I've never had one and the barman brought it over and described how it's made (a gin cocktail with ginger and lime which they serve as a foam in old champagne glasses). That was lovely, if not slightly expensive, but hey! The tea selection was ok, there were a few to choose from but it was of the fairly standard teabagged type. The three tier tray was filled with lovely food: sandwiches and a Welsh rarebit dip with bruschetta type dippers, plain and fruit scones with cream and jam, and the most beautiful tier containing trifle, mint macarons, very gingery mini carrot cakes and tiny meringues. We were full at the end but after over 2 hours we did manage to finish! Would love to come back and try Aalto restaurant soon.

So I chose this hotel based pretty much purely on the fact that other Yelpers had recommended it. It's a modern looking hotel right in the city centre (about a 2 minute walk from the Bullring). I found the staff to be cheerful and helpful, and the rooms were good quality (a solid 4* in hotel speak). Not especially quirky, but modern, clean and definitely did the job. Rooms were also fairly cheap when I booked them, and I therefore found it good value for money. Ok, boring stuff over. The cocktails here are good. I went for a mojito. Several times. The breakfast here is expensive (15.95 per person), but seriously worth it. Amazing buffet. I gained weight as a result. Enough said. It was worth it. Be sure to check out the on-site gym, which is open 24 hours, because I sure as hell never made it there...! As an aside, I was in town for an event at the NEC arena. If you're looking for a hotel in the city centre, which is easily driveable out to the arena, this is your one. There is free hotel parking (limited, make sure to get there in time before it "closes" at 8pm ish). The drive to the NEC is about 20 minutes, even in rush hour traffic.

Afternoon tea Hotel La Tour style :-)

I knew I was in for a treat when I decided to book high tea with the girls after hearing great things from friends. The hotel is located in the city centre, close by to Moor Street and New Street train stations. There were a variety of teas to choose from and I took the opportunity to try something different - white tea with pomegranate. There was also coffee available and cocktails. The high tea was served on three trays - sandwiches and Welsh rabbit on one, scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam on the other and Victoria sponge cakes, macroons, lemon cheesecake, and strawberry shortbread on the bottom tier. Where to start I asked myself! The experience was made even more special with a lady playing the piano while we chatted and indulged in the individual delights of heaven. I was so stuffed I ended up taking a doggie bag home! The waiter and waitress service was superb and they all made us feel at home, making sure we had everything we needed. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in plush surroundings. I will be returning.

Having a passing interest in hotels (it's all about the customer service); I first visited the hotel the day after it opened. The scaffolding was still up but I wouldn't have known that the minute we got inside. Greeted by a smiling face, I'm directed to the coffee shop but offered a tour first. I take up on this offer and I'm shown the restaurant and bar upstairs, with its exquisite brand new menu expected of a four star hotel. The menu designed with the help of renowned chef Marcus Wareing includes a modern take on Knickerbocker Glory! (There are main courses as well!). After all this I decide to take me coffee downstairs, which the newly recruited barista agrees to put into a take-away cup for me - my preferred vehicle when working on a laptop. I sit working way, feeling thoroughly inspired by my surroundings.

A very modern hotel

A Super cool hotel right in the centre of Birmingham. We used the Hotel Tonight app that morning as we are from Manchester and wanted to stay in Birmingham for the night, there was a few hotels to choose from but decided on this lovely looking hotel. We arrived at the Hotel which is around a 10 minute walk from Birmingham New Street Station, or a 2 minute walk from Moor Street Station, it looks really modern from the outside and looks newly built, as we entered the lobby from the cool revolving doors the atrium strikes you with its beauty. its all very modern looking, there is a little check in desk and a few do it yourself check in kiosks, all the front desk staff was really friendly and courteous. Our room was allocated on the 3rd floor, everywhere is really secure and you have to use youre key card to access the corridors and youre room. Our room was a city room and it was at a good size with a large bathroom with a huge shower(no bath) a huge bed and the rest of the room looked great! the only issue i had with the room though was the confusing buttons to control the rooms lighting, also there was only one plug socket on one side of the bed? what about the other side? i don't understand why they don't have a plug socket at each side of the bed so that each person can charge there phone up through the night, but not a big deal. The hotel also has a lovely bar and restaurant on the 1st floor, we didn't eat in the restaurant but the bar was lovely with huge chairs and sofas to sit on. it was all very cozy and romantic. So if youre looking for a modern hotel right in the city centre of Birmingham then this is a good choice!

Oh wow.... Afternoon Tea was amazing, I just wish I hadn't dove straight in and paused for thought to take a few pics.... The space was comfortable for a large group with enough space which allowed everyone to mingle. We were given a selection of freshly made sandwiches, doughy sweet scones with fresh cream and sweet strawberry jam and a selection of yummy cakes to choose from. They were also able to cater for a number of dietary requirements which I thought was great, no-one had to miss out as a result. The only downside would be the customer service, it wasn't bad.... it just didn't match the really high standard of the rest of the experience

Yum!
Caroline C.

Went for a traditional afternoon tea with my French friend who had never tried it! The atmosphere was very relaxed. The waitress was attentive. We were served quickly but weren't rushed. There was ample food, but we weren't over-faced. The tea included a choice of hot and cold teas and coffees, with the option of champagne at an extra cost; selection of sandwiches, scones, macaroons, panacotta and lemon cake! Well worth a visit!

Always cream first then jam. Great scones at the Hotel La Tour afternoon tea.
Ting N.

I was invited along to Hotel La Tour to sample their afternoon tea. It was a bloggers event so therefore unlikely to be a true reflection of regular service. However, in fairness the food was excellent. The afternoon tea gets served in lovely stands, with a choice of teas (and/or bubbly). There is a vegetarian option available (though I failed to ask if they covered other dietary requirements). There was a chorus of approval for the Hotel La Tour version of Welsh Rarebit (made as a dipping sauce with toasted dippers). The sandwiches selection was colourful, and some thought had gone into offering a variety of fillings. I don't think there was anything particularly out of the ordinary with the fillings though. They were nice enough. The scones were brilliant. Crumbly, light, yet rich. I also found that the accompanying cream, and jam was very good (and a decent portion too - I hate it when there isn't enough cream/jam). The cakes were delicious; sweet, light, with a range of textures from macarons through to sponge. The setting was lovely, with live music being a regular part of the Hotel La Tour offering. I didn't get a chance to try an espresso martini here as I was driving. But hopefully on another visit, I'll be able to report back.

Location wise, it's around five minutes from New St or Snow Hill stations and very central. It's as close as you get to a leafy spot in central Birmingham. The reception is stripped down, with self check-in and an assistant to help. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the adjacent Beefeater (named "Bar & Block"). The rooms are pretty standard, but quite well soundproofed, and I didn't suffer from external noise or that from other rooms. Free wifi was perfectly adequate for email and messaging. The beds are very comfortable, though neither the 'soft' or standard 'hard' pillows quite do it for me. The problem for sleeping, however, was the noise of the heating/cooling unit fan - an irritating whine which meant I had to turn it off to go to sleep and then awoke at 4am too warm. There was also a peculiar, intermittent watery noise, which I presume was someone flushing or washing elsewhere in the building, though it may have been the air-conditioning. Breakfast was ok, a fairly standard buffet, though Europeans would bemoan the lack of cheese and cold meats. I returned from getting a second cup of coffee to find the waitress clearing away the toast I had just buttered, although she apologised and offered to get me another. So, ok for the price (£118 including breakfast on a weeknight) but not outstanding value given the imperfect sleep.

Premier Inn is considered to be a budget chain hotel. However, having stayed at several of their…read morehotels in the last year, I have to say that I'm most impressed. The website is clear, comprehensive and it's easy to compare several nearby hotels to choose the most suitable one. My family and I stayed at this Premier Inn in Birmingham city centre earlier this year to attend the All England Badminton finals at the National Indoor Arena. The hotel is perfectly located in the city centre, close to all the shops and restaurants but only 20 minute walk along a pedestrianised route from the NIA. There is some metered parking outside the hotel but for longer term parking, it's best to use one of the many public car parks nearby. We used the Brunel Street car park which is a 5 minute walk away and cost around £8 for 24 hours on a Sunday. Check in is a funny affair with self service machines to enter your details but with very eager staff hovering to help. This hotel is very well staffed with helpful people and I'm not really sure why they don't just use a traditional check in system. The rooms were big and like other Premier Inns I've stayed at, quite modern and updated. There was a problem with the shower door in one of the rooms but we were given a new room immediately. The beds were comfortable. There was a nice looking on-site restaurant but we chose to eat out. This hotel satisfied both the CTG (Chinese Thrift Gene) and the CQG (Chinese Quality Gene)!

Breakfast Review: I…read morehad a breakfast meeting this morning and couldn't believe my luck when my colleague suggested Hotel du Vin - a venue that I hadn't considered for breakfast before? Breakfast was great, service was excellent and very prompt. Coffee was good too. At £16.95, its the most expensive I have eaten in Birmingham - but this does come with access to the pastries and cereals too - so its still expensive though, compared to others locally. Breakfast consists of eggs, (I had 2 perfectly poached ones), 2 bacon, a flat mushroom, half a tomato, black pudding, (not great - a bit crumbly) and a tiny sausage. Its a shame about the sausage - it should have been bigger or another should have been added to the breakfast. Would I go back? Possibly. There is some great competition in Birmingham

A former eye hospital turned hotel, it is a great big hunk of Victorian red brick right in the middle of Birmingham. Outside the building has plenty of nice features and the interior is even more opulent. There's a rather grand entrance hall with the bar off to one side and the bistro to the other. The event I attended was a film screening held in the courtyard, which is just off the entrance hall, in the centre of the building. At one time this area would have been open air, with a gallery running around the outside. Now, though, there's a clear roof above and it serves as a dining area. The space would make a nice venue for a party or similar gathering, and worked well for the film screening. The hotel staff were on hand to serve food and drinks. After the screening my friends and I went into the hotel bar for some drinks. Although the drinks aren't cheap (as to be expected), there is a very good selection and the staff provide complimentary bar snacks. The bar is quite intimate, with painted walls and low lighting. I'll be heading back for a drink for sure, as the atmosphere was nice and relaxed.

Even though we did not stay in the hotel, but the experience of their horrible customer service as well as their policy on strike is very traveller unfriendly in addition to monetary loss. We would strongly recommend to avoid this hotel in all cost for travelers.

The reception area looked great and there were refreshing welcome drinks we could help ourselves to while we waited, I had parked in their car park and was given a token so that there would be no charge for the use of that facility. The staff were very polite and friendly so I had high hopes for the rest of the day. However when we went downstairs to the heath suite, I was left somewhat disappointed. The changing room area was quite small with only a few lockers, as there were other guests using the spa we didn't even get a locker each to ourselves, so 5 of us just had to squeeze our things into 3 lockers! I had ironed my dress for the evening event beforehand however that got creased as there were so many bags in the locker that it was not able to hang properly. It stated on the wall as you walked in that there was a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and pool, however there was no sauna. The facilities that were there were great, but I had been hoping to paint my nails and dry them off in the sauna, so I was disappointed. The sun loungers had all been taken up by other guests so we had to leave our towels on the chairs by the tables. There was quite a mess of coffee cups, tissues and things on the table when we arrived, and it was still there when we left 4 hours later. I had booked a pedicure as my treatment, my friends had booked massages and facials. The pedicure was good, but normally they file the dead skin off your feet as well as doing your nails and you get a little bit of a foot massage which they didn't do here. From what my friends told me, the massage was good but it depended on which therapist you had, as each did slightly different things. The lady who had the facial was happy with that as they use decleor products. There are only 2 showers and 2 closed changing rooms, so it was quite a long wait before I could get ready. The showers were also filthy! There were empty bottles, hair and scum on the floor of both showers and we had noticed that when we arrived, but assumed it would be cleaned by the time we showered...it wasn't! All in all I would say it was a disappointment for all of us, as we had expected far better!
