Fodor's Expert Review Eaton Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

With an elegant, gleaming white facade, this mansion in leafy Edgbaston provides a peaceful, cozy stay two miles from the bustle of Birmingham’s center. Guest rooms are flawlessly up-to-date, with warm tones and flat-screen TVs. Ask for a rear-facing room to avoid the slight hum of traffic on Hagley Road. The breakfast is tasty, as is the traditional British fare served in the restaurant.
