An £8 million refurbishment project has been completed on a landmark Birmingham hotel.

The work at the Crowne Plaza hotel, in Holliday Street, has seen all 312 bedrooms updated including its club rooms and two suites while accessibility options have been upgraded with two fully accessible wet rooms.

Work in the rooms includes upgrades to its tech such as more sockets and digital cable ports and enhanced desk space.

During the renovation work, more than 1,500 pillows and hundreds of duvets, mattress toppers and protectors have been donated to those in need.

This latest project represents the final phase of renovations at the well-known hotel, following the transformation of its ground floor lobby and bar areas in 2022.

General manager Siobhan Thomasson said: "After listening to our guests and their feedback, we've created rooms that are not only stylish and comfortable but also highly functional.

"Our thanks go to hotel refurbishment specialists County Contractors for their work as guest feedback for the new rooms has been fantastic.

"Our investment in this refurbishment mirrors Birmingham's own growth and ambition and is a fitting representation of the city's progress, reflecting the innovative and welcoming spirit of the place we call home.

"At the same time, sustainability is a core part of who we are and we're committed to making a positive impact. These efforts not only reduce waste but also support some of the city's most vulnerable residents.

"We're proud to provide guests with a space that blends style, functionality and sustainability, offering an experience that truly reflects the vibrancy and diversity of Birmingham."

The hotel opened its doors in the 1960s.
