Stress-Free Christmas Travel: Why aparthotel Birmingham is the Perfect Base

Christmas is a time for magic, lights, markets, and memories, but it also brings crowded trains, frantic airports, last-minute shopping, and city centre chaos. It’s no wonder so many people find the festive period more exhausting than joyful.

This year, take the pressure off and experience Christmas on your own terms with the whole family in tow. Planning a festive trip with loved ones can often feel like a logistical nightmare, but we’ve made it easier for you here at aparthotel Birmingham.

Booking a stay with us means more space, more flexibility, and far less stress (we even have a curated list of seasonal activities for you to enjoy this December). It’s a calm, comfortable alternative to the usual festive travel chaos- a true home away from home, right in the heart of the city.

Comfort, Space, and Flexibility in the Heart of the City

Our suites here at aparthotel Birmingham provide the space and privacy of an apartment with the convenience and style of a hotel.

With fully functional kitchens, an onsite shop, separate living and sleeping areas, we provide a comfortable and flexible base to relax after a day of exploring the city’s festive attractions.

Instead of squeezing into a small hotel room or trying to find a restaurant table during the busiest season of the year, enjoy the freedom of your own kitchen, a comfy sofa to unwind on, and a central location that keeps you connected to everything happening around the city.

Christmas Cheer on Your Doorstep

Stepping outside, you’ll be instantly immersed in Birmingham’s famous festive buzz. The Birmingham Christmas Market is one of the most celebrated in Europe, drawing thousands of visitors every year.

Set against the city’s beautifully lit backdrop, this traditional German market fills Victoria Square and New Street with wooden stalls selling handcrafted gifts, mulled wine, German beers, bratwurst and sweet treats.

Just a short walk away, the Cathedral Square Craft Market brings even more seasonal excitement with rides, attractions, and festive food options that are perfect for families and anyone looking to embrace the Christmas spirit.

Shopping for gifts is made easy with Birmingham’s shopping centre right around the corner; not to mention the many markets and stalls littered around during the month of December.

With over 160 stores, the shops in the Bullring offer everything from big-brand favourites to unique finds, all under one roof. It's the ideal place to tick off your Christmas list without having to venture far from your apartment.

Escape the Seasonal Travel Stress

Trying to navigate the UK’s transport networks during December is a challenge in itself. Trains are packed, city roads busier than ever. Staying in Birmingham city centre eliminates the need for long commutes or stressful daily journeys.

Once you’re here, everything you need is within walking distance; the markets, the shops, the restaurants, and the seasonal events. Birmingham’s Grand Central is also local, convenient should you want to take a festive day-trip outside of Birmingham.

Shop to your heart’s content, safe in the knowledge that your cosy apartment is just around the corner when your arms- or patience- need a rest.

Make This Christmas One to Remember

Christmas doesn’t have to be hectic. By booking with us, you can soak up the atmosphere of the season without sacrificing comfort or control. From the twinkling lights of the Frankfurt Christmas Market to the endless shopping opportunities at Bullring Birmingham, everything is within reach, and you can find the festive spirit at every turn.
