Even if it is a little soulless by some standards, the Thistle offers business visitors practical accommodation for gadding in and around the West Midlands. Better still, late bookings can sometimes turn up some terrific discounts that make it a rather peachy option. Once known as the ‘workshop of the world’ guests at this capable budget property can look forward to a range of business perks including air-conditioned meeting rooms, LCD projectors and screens and a boardroom for smaller team meetings and presentations.

And if you fancy mixing business with pleasure Thistle guests can look forward to debriefing in Monty’s Brasserie and Wimsey’s Bar where a range of refreshments is served.
