New look: one of the refurbished bedrooms
Major refurbishment for city centre hotel
Hotel du Vin Birmingham has undertaken a £1m refurbishment of its 66 bedrooms. It is the first major refurbishment at the hotel – located in a Victorian
Grade II listed landmark which was formerly the Birmingham Eye Hospital – since it opened 2001. The development has taken place in four stages and will be completed
this month. Tom Gallimore, general manager of Hotel du Vin Birmingham, said: “We
are extremely excited for the renovation to be complete – the bedrooms haven’t been decorated since the hotel opened over 18 years ago so it’s going to be a real change for us. “I am really pleased with the plans and look forward to unveiling the new
styled rooms once they are all ready to showcase. “The team are all very excited and we all look forward to presenting the
new classical styles.” • More patron news on pages 36 and 37.
