Guest information

Dear Guest,

Welcome to the Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel, Birmingham.

If you have stayed with us before then I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you back and if this is your first time with us then I hope you will enjoy your stay and return again soon.

The lounge bar is open daily and serves an array of cocktails, beers, wines by the glass and spirits. So please take advantage and make use of our lounge, terrace and garden.

Evening meals are served Monday to Thursday from 5:30pm to 8:30pm and can be enjoyed in the lounge area or on the terrace. Alternatively, Room Service is available should you prefer to dine in your room, with a supplement charge of £4.50 being added to your bill

To reduce emissions, we have introduced a number of measures to protect the climate and reduce our own carbon footprint. One of these is to reduce the unnecessary number of linen changes to a room.

If you would like your room serviced during your stay, please hang the green card on the outside of your door by 10am or advise Reception the night before. Housekeepers will not enter your room before you check out unless otherwise requested by you. Please let us know if you require fresh towels, or other items.

Please enquire about joining our Bestwestern Rewards Program and benefit from a whole host of benefits, from free carparking, to room upgrades with breakfast and complimentary hotel stays in any number of Bestwestern Hotels throughout the UK and Europe. Not to mention the discounts. Simply speak with the reception team. It couldn’t be easier.

Finally, please do not hesitate to ask if I or any of my team can help with anything during your stay.

kind regards

Paul Smyth
