Fodor's Expert Review Macdonald Burlington Hotel

Housed in one of the city’s grand Victorian buildings, this traditional hotel is a surprisingly good value option in the center of Birmingham. Guest rooms are decorated either with conservative dark woods and print fabrics or, for a slightly higher rate, in a modern, minimalist style using warm, muted colors. The Berlioz restaurant has a contemporary Scottish menu, or you can take afternoon tea in the Berlioz Bar.
