If you brought the kids along, they can spot tigers, elephants and rhino on a trip to West Midland Safari Park, half an hour's drive from the hotel.

You can host events in the hotel's five naturally lit meeting rooms. There's free WiFi throughout the hotel, and catering can be provided too. Trade shows at the NEC are 30 minutes' drive away.
