"First opened in 1903, the historic Midland’s claims to fame include being where Rolls met Royce and where Becks wooed Posh." Full review

Lonely Planet "Its 312 rooms are used by business-folk and tourists looking for comfort and a little pizzazz." Full review
Michelin Guide "Behind its spectacular red-brick exterior you’ll find a hotel that’s as dignified as they come...public spaces are imposing, while the 312 rooms and suites are softer, though no less finely wrought" Full review
