Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham
About
The Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham is a striking example of late‑20th‑century Brutalist architecture that dominates the city’s Broad Street skyline. Originally completed in 1975 as the Chamberlain Tower office block, the building was transformed into a full‑service hotel in 1998, featuring 445 rooms and a ground‑floor pub and restaurant that capture the vibrant energy of Birmingham’s city centre. After a major refurbishment and rebranding under the Leonardo Hotels chain in 2022, the property offers modern comforts, spacious rooms with contemporary décor, and convenient access to Birmingham’s cultural and business attractions. Guests can enjoy a comfortable stay while exploring nearby landmarks such as the Birmingham Cathedral, the Library of Birmingham, and the city’s bustling shopping districts. The hotel’s central location on Broad Street places it steps away from the Birmingham New Street station, making it an ideal base for business travellers, tourists, and families looking to experience the best of the West Midlands.
