Bottom Line

The 174-room Hotel La Tour is a sophisticated, sleek hotel and one of Birmingham's only luxury options that isn't a hotel chain. Decor is dramatic, from the generous common spaces to the spacious, chic rooms with contemporary bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. High-tech amenities include bedside lighting controls and media hubs. Located near a railway station, the hotel is very accessible, but slightly removed from the main action in center city (though it is still just a short walk from the main attractions).
