With the choice of 10 accommodation types across 161 luxury suites, from a classic 22sqm studio to two-bedroom and terraced apartments, a selection of rooms have been designed to suit every stay - from a short work trip to extended leisure or family break.
Upon opening, the refurbished site, formerly known as the Royal Angus Hotel, was awarded an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of “10 A”, where “0 A” indicates net-zero carbon emissions. This rating has positioned aparthotel Birmingham as one of the city’s most sustainable commercial developments, producing significantly lower emissions than the industry average ratings of “17 A” for new builds and “68 C” for existing stock.
With a modern and eco-conscious design, aparthotel Birmingham is a completely gasless site that runs off 100% renewable energy, generated entirely from solar and wind power, whilst heat pumps and heat recovery systems have eliminated the use of fossil fuels.
“From the earliest design stages, we were committed to investing in upgrades to the site’s infrastructure to ensure our operations have a minimal environmental impact, without compromising on the quality guest experience that Switch has become known for.”
Guests are also encouraged to limit their use of single-use products, with refillable Rituals toiletries, bamboo stationary, and dedicated bins for plastic, glass, paper and food waste provided in every room.
Creating a ‘home away from home’ experience, each suite has dedicated spaces for sleeping, relaxing, working and dining. Rooms are furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen, including fridge-freezer, washer-dryer and combi-microwave oven, while guests can also benefit from the latest technology, including self-check in portals and wi-fi hotspots.
