In recent years the English city of Birmingham has seen a dramatic increase in tourism. As only London is larger city (by population) it will not be surprising to learn that there are plenty of amenities in the city and plenty of entertainment opportunities. First class art galleries and museums are easy to find and while plenty represent the city’s rich industrial past other are far more modern and forward looking. Some of the best music and arts venues are found in Birmingham and there are plenty of visitor attractions of all types to keep virtually anybody entertained.
It may surprise you to learn, or you may not have even considered the fact, that increasing numbers of people now take their pets along with them when they take a vacation. It can be very stressful for both the pet and your family to be parted for even a brief time but this is not the only reason for the increase. As with everything else these days, boarding for your pet, while away, has become incredibly expensive. The expense is often so great that you can make a substantial saving even if your chosen hotel charges you for the privilege of having your pet in your room.
Let us assume now that you have decided that taking your pet along with you on a vacation is a great idea and that you have also decided that you will visit Birmingham, England. You then have to face a common problem with traveling with pets, finding suitable accommodation. Wherever you go these days there are usually plenty of hotels, guest houses and other accommodation but sadly only a handful allow you to have a pet in the room and hardly any, anywhere, advertise their establishments as “pet friendly”. As little as one percent of hotels (or less) state in their policy that pets are allowed.
To save you the awful task of searching through huge lists of hotels (imagine looking at more than seventy hotels before you find one which allows pets), I have listed below some of the pet friendly hotels and accommodation in Birmingham, those which state in the hotel policies that pets are allowed.
The Etap Hotel The immensely large Etap is situated roughly half a mile from the very centre of the city. The Etap offers pet friendly accommodation at a very affordable cost.
The Novotel Hotel The massive Novotel is a 4 star pet friendly hotel, on Edward Street only minutes away from the heart of the city.
The Malmaison Birmingham The Malmaison is a very large 3 star pet friendly hotel in the heart of Birmingham.
If you would rather stay in a smaller hotel then the fifty one room Ibis Holloway Circus is the smallest pet friendly hotel I was able to find close to Birmingham’s city centre. You may be able to find a place to stay with less rooms but it will likely be some distance from the centre.
