Amazing service staff were friendly and looked after us very well .I would definitely recommend this place .��
Great for fine dining, wine dinners & overnight stays! Fantastic customer service and a great location for shopping & sight seeing!
Highly recommend.
Everyone knows the best way to welcome someone in from a torrential rainstorm is with a large glass of fizz. At (ironically) their summer menu tasting, Hotel Du Vin went one better, welcoming us with a blind tasting of four different varieties; the challenge was to identify Champagne, French Cremant, Prosecco and English sparkling wine using only our eyes, noses and tongues.
I first stayed in Birmingham’s Hotel du Vin on the day of my 21st, a decade and a bit ago, when an ex-girlfriend treated me ahead of what has gone down as one of the cities wankiest ever birthday parties. If memory serves me correct, I wore a white suit and vest, the only colour emanating from me being a deep orange fake tan that Trump would have been envious of. I got drunk, wasted the rooms intentions and woke up to the sound of her boffing into a bin in the morning. She was a class act, was Mel. Fast forward six months and she is driving out of Bristol’s Hotel du Vin alone, whilst I am in the bath unaware of the messages she has found on my phone. This would turn out to be a reoccurring theme in my adult life. I’ll never learn.
Best Breakfast in Brum. For a very elegant and delicious breakfast in Brum there's no better place than Hotel Du Vin.
When I visited (and I wasn't a hotel resident) I opted for the breakfast buffet, which for about £12 gives you the opportunity to fill your boots with unlimited pastries, coffee, juice, cereals, yogurt, fruits and breads.
It's a cut above your average breakfast buffet though, with items such as syrup poached pears, artisan croissants and chunky granola.
For a few quid more you can also chose something off the a la carte menu such as smoked salmon and scrambled eggs or a full English breakfast.
The setting is charming and the service impeccable.
Go on, treat yourself!
Booking often required.
I'd been to Pub Du Vin before for a look around and I was here for a Gin In June event organised by Hotel Du Vin and CocktailxChange.
The actual entrance is on Edmund Street although it's part of the main building on Church Street.
The event actually kicked off at 6pm but as usual I was crazy early, I got a lemonade to make sure I didn't get too smashed on the 4 gin cocktails. (I'm a lightweight these days!)
The Bar area is right in the middle of the pub with different seating areas set around it. It's pretty intimate and probably can get quite crowded
I'll be back for afternoon beers!!
I used to come to this 'pub' underneath Hotel Du Vin quite frequently until their beer prices drastically increased, so we ventured else where. I have been back since for a rum tasting, but had never considered eating here until Vicky O. mentioned it this week.
We walked in at 12.30 and although there were other people seated, we had no problem finding a table. Our upbeat waiter came over promptly and served us quickly. Monday -Friday they do 2 burgers for £15 and although there wasnt a big choice we had quite a time trying to decide which to choose! My bacon and cheese burger on brioche bun with fries was delicious. I definitely think with that offer on it is worth going. The ambianace is smart casual, so best for a work lunch or just wanting to get away from the corwds.
As you would expect from the bar in Hotel Du Vin, the hotel's opulent and classy reception lead to an equally opulent and classy bar. It's warm and comfortable, but I would recommend wearing something nice if you are planning a visit as it's easy to feel "underdressed".
There is a mixture of sofa's, tables and seats around the bar; so it's a good place for a small group or for a couple of people. It's always lovely and warm, so is a nice place to visit in the Winter for a treat.
I have only tried the food at an event, but it was fresh, warm and delicious. We had mini fish and chips in little newspaper boats (So cute), beef skewers and a selection of things served in a light, crispy tempura batter. The staff have been friendly and attentive both at the bar and at events.
The reason this is a four star venue is the price. I'm no stranger to the idea that "Class Costs," but it's quite off putting to pay such an inflated price for cocktails. Having said that, the Espresso Martini is like nothing else. It tastes amazing and is served with roasted coffee beans sitting on the cream on top. Bliss.
I would say this is a good place for a meaningful celebration, but not a place to spend a whole night.
