REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
During our enchanting stay at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, we were privileged to have access to their esteemed executive club lounge. Situated on the lobby level, this expansive area provides a tranquil haven for guests to unwind, partake in delightful drinks throughout the day, and indulge in evening canapés and a selection of alcoholic beverages. The lounge proudly offers a breakfast service from 7am to 10am, and an evening service that includes hot food and drinks from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, catering to the refined tastes of its visitors.
One evening, we decided to experience the lounge's celebrated evening service. Upon entry, we were immediately struck by the lounge's contemporary design and warm, inviting ambiance. The space is thoughtfully laid out with approximately 20 tables, ensuring ample seating for guests seeking relaxation and refreshment. The decor, with its vibrant orange and blue theme, oak flooring, and a patterned blue and white carpet, creates an atmosphere of modern elegance. The lighting is artfully chosen to enhance the room's aesthetics, while the tables, with their white marble-style finish, add a touch of luxury.
We were fortunate to arrive early and secure a beautifully positioned table. As the evening progressed, the lounge filled with guests, yet the space never lost its sense of calm and exclusivity. The culinary offerings were a highlight, with two hot dishes—vegetable pakoras and hoisin duck spring rolls—capturing our taste buds. These were complemented by a refined selection of cold cuts, an assortment of cheeses paired with grapes, and vegetable cocktail sticks featuring tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives, all meticulously presented to entice and satisfy.
The lounge also excelled in its selection of refreshments. Displayed prominently were two bottles of alcohol, ready to be served, alongside a refrigerator stocked with various beers to cater to all preferences. For those desiring non-alcoholic options, a variety of soft drinks were available, along with a tea and coffee machine for hot beverage enthusiasts.
As the clock neared 6pm, the lounge became a bustling hub of activity. Despite this, the service remained impeccable. Two to three attentive staff members glided through the room, ensuring every guest's needs were met with efficiency and a smile. This attentive service contributed significantly to the overall experience, making the evening all the more enjoyable.
