Birmingham is one of the UK's most populous urban cities. Its
metropolitan area boasts a wide variety of commerce and culture in
the heart of the concrete jungle. Birmingham boasts a vast array of
British architecture; a somewhat eclectic mix of medieval and
modern. The city is one of mainland Britain's major transport hubs,
making it a valuable location for business conferences and
industrial development. With only a short 10 minute train journey
from the airport and perfectly located for the ICC Birmingham, Macdonald Burlington Hotel
is ideally located for all your needs.
Birmingham is full of surprises: more trees than Paris, more
canals then Venice and more jewellery makers than anywhere in the
UK. Stay in our hotel in Birmingham and you'll discover tons more.
Shopping is one, the sheer diversity of it all, from Harvey Nichols
to Selfridges, chic malls to down-to-earth markets. The Jewellery
Quarter which produces 40% of all UK jewellery is not to be
missed.
With a young population, Birmingham's nightlife is lively and
varied. Whether it's a club, pub, comedy club, gig or night at the
Ballet or Symphony Orchestra, there's plenty of choice. If you love
a balti, Birmingham is the curry capital of the UK, with an
astonishing selection of Asian and Indian restaurants.
Sports lovers can feast on test cricket at Edgaston, Belfry
golf, lots of football clubs and indoor athletics. Family
attractions include Cadbury World and the thrills of Drayton Manor
Theme Park.
