Edgbaston House is an Art Deco boutique hotel at 16 Highfield Road in Edgbaston, the leafy, Georgian-and-Victorian suburb just southwest of Birmingham city centre. Couples and design lovers book it for its Jazz Age styling, its free-standing bathtubs and a 1920s-inspired black-and-gold cocktail lounge that draws locals as well as overnight guests.
The rooms pair period-style furnishings with modern comforts, and many have statement free-standing tubs that suit a romantic weekend. Downstairs, the lounge and eatery uses dark lacquered tones, gold accents and low lighting to evoke a Prohibition-era bar. Cocktails are the main draw. The hotel also hosts small meetings and private gatherings in its event spaces (VenueKonnex). This hotel is a different building from the former Edgbaston House office tower on Duchess Place, which was demolished in 2018 (Wikipedia).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book directly through the hotel by email at [email protected] or by phone on 0121 818 4040. Ask for a room with a free-standing tub if you want one. Reserve early on weekends and on Edgbaston Stadium match days, when rooms across the area fill quickly. Midweek stays are quieter, and the lounge is calmest in the early evening. Edgbaston Village’s independent restaurants, galleries and shops are a short walk away, as are the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Five Ways station connects you to New Street in minutes.
