The lovely Edgbaston Palace Hotel boasts an enviable location just one mile from the city centre of Birmingham. An attractive Grade II listed building situated in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, the Edgbaston Palace Hotel is a popular choice amongst both business and leisure travellers to the city of Birmingham, offering easy access to the M5 and M6 motorways. The actual building dates back to 1854, but it wasn't until 1971 that it was made into a hotel. The current owners took over in 2007 and have transformed the Edgbaston Palace into a smart and modern establishment catering for the needs of today's demanding traveller. Dining plays a large part in life at the Edgbaston Palace Hotel and there are two great options. A more informal option compared to dining in the hotel restaurant is that enjoyed in the bar and lounge of the hotel. Serving the very same menu as the restaurant, the bar and lounge offers relaxing and more casual surroundings in which to dine. The menu dishes up a wide range of dishes taking inspiration from around the globe. Start with a cod pakora with a homemade sauce and follow with a mega mixed grill featuring pork steak, lamb steak, rump steak, chicken breast, gammon steak and sausage served with potatoes and a fried egg or a classic scampi and chips with peas and tartare sauce. Prices are very reasonable for a hotel and portions more than generous. Surrounded by pretty gardens, the Edgbaston Palace Hotel is a lovely choice for a meal and welcomes a good mix of hotel guests and visitors to the bar and lounge. Soft leather sofas provide plenty of comfort for a relaxing meal in the bar and lounge with large windows overlooking the gardens.
