Scene

A contemporary, sleek hotel with emphasis on design

The unique blue and green patterned glass exterior of the Radisson Blu Hotel, Birmingham sets the tone for this uniquely decorated hotel. The large, open-aired lobby has a modern aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling windows, neutral colored walls and floor tiles, dark brown leather benches, a glass staircase, and contemporary artwork. The reception area has three separate white marble desks in front of a large wood paneled wall. This contemporary look continues throughout the hotel with a heavily grey color-palette, unique lighting, and sleek furniture. The overall atmosphere is refined and welcoming.

Rooms

Uniquely decorated rooms that come in Chic, Fresh, or Fashion styles

The rooms come in three different styles -- Fresh, Chic, and Fashion -- all designed by renowned decorator Matteo Thun. The Chic rooms are the most conservative in terms of color palette, with tones of dove grey and a deep maroon. The Fashion rooms are the exact opposite with a wild, bold color scheme -- bold stripes, bright blue carpeting, and red accent walls make this a fun, yet still tastefully decorated style. The Fresh rooms are a bit more toned down than the Fashion rooms, but not as conservative as the Chic rooms, with bright blue carpeting, and red and maroon accents. Rooms also come in a variety of sizes, ranging from Standard to the Presidential Suite. All are spacious and offer air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, huge windows with fantastic city views, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and safes. Bathrooms are contemporary, but on the smaller side and a bit bland compared to the room decor. The walls are covered with small white tiles, and they have a sleek white sink and shower/tub combo.

Features

Spa, conference floor, two bars, and a renowned restaurant

The hotel offers a full range of amenities. The large spa has several treatment rooms, a makeup counter, and a manicure room. The decor doesn't have your typical tranquil, neutral color palette, but rather red and black accents. Guests traveling on business can take advantage of the conference floor with communal tables in the hallway, free coffee and tea, a computer and printer, as well as multiple fully equipped conference rooms. There is a sophisticated lobby bar with comfy brown leather chairs, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek hanging lights, and a large white marble bar. Every morning it offers fresh coffee and a Grab and Go breakfast option. The hotel also has a renowned Italian restaurant and bar called Fillini, which has a chic, modern aesthetic. A large, futuristic glass-encased wine humidor is the centerpiece to the room. Large black leather booths, light wood floors and tables, and large potted trees infuse a natural element into this modern setting.
