We’re delighted to announce BLOC hotels as a main partner for this year’s design festival. From the outset we wanted to attract partners who had a strong presence locally and shared the same love for design as we do. If you’ve ever stayed at BLOC, located in the Jewellery Quarter (as well as Gatwick airport), you’ll know that their rooms are beautifully designed and we look forward to welcoming our guests to the hotel over the course of the festival.

BLOC’s support means we can focus on bringing world class talent to the city over the course of the four days in June and as a bonus there will be special offers for people looking attend the festival too.

Commenting on the collaboration, BLOC’s Managing Director, Rob Morgan, added: “BLOC Hotels’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of hotel design makes the alignment with Birmingham Design Festival very exciting for us. Our first hotel was designed and built in Birmingham and we will continue to invest the city that the brand was born in – starting with our Grand Central development.”

About Bloc Hotels

The BLOC Hotel is based on some fresh thinking, using innovative design and construction techniques to build hotels with small, chic, perfectly-formed rooms for people who appreciate quality but don’t always need the fuss of a traditional luxury hotel. And without the unnecessary extras, BLOC can keep prices low.

BLOC’s design principles are based on pared-down luxury. So just because you won’t find an over-blown restaurant, spa or conference facility, doesn’t mean you’ll have to compromise on style or a really good night’s sleep. BLOC gives you the best of what you do need and none of what you don’t.
