Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel

135 Hagley Road,  Birmingham,  B16 8LS

A Country House Welcome in Edgbaston

Set within its own grounds and gardens in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, the Plough & Harrow Hotel, in Birmingham, brings a country-house feel right to the edge of the city, in a Victorian red-brick building first established in 1704 that counts among Birmingham's oldest hotels.


The location is the quiet advantage here, with the Botanical Gardens, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, and the University close by, the International Convention Centre an easy run on the tram from Edgbaston Village which makes the city centre a short hop. Spacious rooms, some with garden views, give you room to settle.


Dine in the Terrace Restaurant, Lounge or on the Terrace overlooking the lawn & enjoy a drink on the garden terrace as the evening eases in. This is the kind of spot that turns an after-work hour into something to linger over. With ample parking and genuine heritage, it is a warm, well-placed base for business or a city break. Book your stay at the Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel and let the gardens do the rest.
