Modern Vibes in the Heart of the Eastside
Aloft Birmingham
Aloft Birmingham Eastside brings a fresh, loft-inspired vibe to the city’s burgeoning Eastside district, perfectly positioned near the Knowledge Quarter and the upcoming HS2 terminal. The hotel breaks away from the traditional with its open-plan "industrial-chic" design, featuring high ceilings and vibrant social spaces like the W XYZ bar and the Re:mix lounge. It serves as a stylish hub for travelers who appreciate a tech-forward atmosphere, offering a blend of modern comfort and urban energy that matches the revitalization of Birmingham’s historic industrial heart.
The Arrival & Design
Walking into the lobby feels a bit like stepping into the future. It’s an open-plan space filled with bold colors, futuristic furniture, and plenty of "Instagrammable" textures. The Re:Mix Lounge is the heart of the ground floor, featuring pool tables and a very social atmosphere that’s a welcome change from traditional, stuffy hotel lobbies.
Accommodation and Amenities
The hotel features 195 air-conditioned guest rooms, each designed with modern aesthetics and equipped with essential amenities such as Smart TVs, Wi-Fi, and rainfall showerheads. Guests can also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, as well as a 24-hour business center, dry cleaning/laundry services, and 23 meeting rooms.
The Urban King Room
The rooms are exactly what you expect from a high-end Aloft: clean, spacious, and cozy.
The View: If you book an "Urban" room, you get floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the Birmingham skyline.
Tech & Comfort: The platform beds are incredibly comfortable. One of my favorite features is the tech-integrated entry—you can actually use your smartphone as a key.
The Bathroom: Expect a massive walk-in rainfall shower and Bliss® Spa products.
Dining: Tempo! and W XYZ Bar
Aloft Birmingham Eastside offers a variety of dining options to suit every taste. The hotel's restaurant serves a delicious menu of international cuisine, while the bar provides a relaxed atmosphere for guests to unwind and socialize. For those seeking a more casual dining experience, the hotel also offers room service and vending machines.
W XYZ Bar: This is easily the coolest spot in the hotel. It’s great for a cocktail or a local craft beer before heading out into the city.
Tempo! Restaurant: They serve a solid buffet breakfast here, and the space transforms into a laid-back dining area in the evening.
Re:Fuel: For those late-night cravings after a night out in Digbeth, the 24/7 grab-and-go station is a lifesaver.
