The serviced apartments at Staying Cool may just be one of Birmingham city centre’s best-kept secrets – as discreet as you like, with no signage indicating a place to stay. And in fact, Staying Very Cool at Rotunda would be a more apt description as the accommodation here is of rock-star quality, housed within the city’s most iconic building – a landmark structure from 1965 that is now a Grade-II listed building. With nearby Selfridges as your 'corner shop', and British designers given free rein in the classy interiors, these are Instagram-ready city breaks in waiting.
Rotunda's apartments vary in size, ranging from studios ('Mini'), one-beds ('Clubman'), two-beds ('Maxi') and two-bed penthouses ('Roadsters'). The building's circular shape lends these idiosyncratic upper-floor apartments a 'cheese wedge' design, while the floor-to-ceiling windows allow for great panoramic views. Bespoke furniture keeps everything refreshingly light and airy, even in the smaller studios, and they all boast proper pocket-sprung king-size beds and high-end fixture and fittings – Poggenpohl kitchens with dishwashers and washer/dryers, Illy espresso makers, ultra-fast wifi and a SkyTV package… plus aromatherapy bathroom products and complimentary breakfast cereals and a tuck shop for snacks. Rotunda is also a deliberately sustainable place to stay, and has always placed an emphasis on paying its staff a living wage, using renewable energy sources and working with local suppliers, so not only can you be comfortable you can feel smug about it too.
The staff and service are slick and professional, and you also couldn’t be more central for the many delights of Brum – Rotunda is handy for both stations, the Bull Ring and other shopping centres and pretty much everything else you might want to see in central Birmingham.
