Over indulgent hotel recommendations
Discussion
As someone who normally selects the cheapest available, clean-ish, hovel to stay in I'm entirely hopeless at finding nice hotels. Next month I need to book an impressive nights accommodation for a special evening away so I need recommendations for a quality hotel. Other than being within about a hours drive of Birmingham there aren't any requirements and even this is flexible.
Basically somewhere where you were totally wowed by how nice the rooms were is what I'm looking for.

Hotel Du Vin in centre of Birmingham is good. Stayed in their basic room on business and it is very nice - decent food too. Recently hired the Hotel Du Vin loft suite in Brighton on pleasure and that was absolutely spectacular (but pricey) so Birmingham's best suites should be good on that basis.
You could probably do Stapleford Park in about and hour, quite special.

Cliveden House Hotel.
Or my fave at the moment, The Crazy Bear at Beaconsfield.
Agree with both of these, stunning places. I stayed in the "silver" suite at Beaconsfield and it was awesome, bit pricey but food was great!Or my fave at the moment, The Crazy Bear at Beaconsfield.
How about Coombe Abbey?

Hambleton Hall is a fantastic place Took my wife there for her 40th birthday via Helicoper that picked us up from our paddock. It would be less than a hour from Brum using this method but a bit expensive if the heli had to wait over night
Surely the done thing is to pay for a room for the poor pilot as well? What are you, a tightwad? hairykrishna said:

The Lygon Arms in Broadway.
If it's not too late, if you're heading to Broadway, I'd avoid this and go stay at Russell's with Rooms. Far more indulgent.Gassing Station | Holidays & Travel | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
