NEW BIRMINGHAM - West Midlands

Marriott Aloft Birmingham Eastside

Located in the centre of Birmingham close to Aston Villa FC and Aston and Birmingham City Universities. The hotel has an accessible room fitted with a ceiling hoist with direct transfer to the bathroom. The track in the bathroom has a turntable so that all the features in the bathroom are accessible via the hoist.

What the hotel says:
"Our accessible bedroom has been designed with thoughtful details to make your stay as smooth and stress free as possible. All switches are positioned lower for easy reach and the wardrobe features a pull down rail so everything is within arm’s length.

The spacious accessible bathroom is equipped with chrome railings throughout for added support, while the height adjustable sink station adapts to your needs.

For added independence, the room also includes a ceiling hoist that runs directly from the bed to the bathroom, offering seamless movement and reassurance.

For those travelling with extra support, the room conveniently adjoins to a second bedroom, ideal for carers, friends or family.

Every element has been created with accessibility, comfort and dignity in mind, so you can relax and focus on enjoying your stay."

I've stayed at many hotels in my life in myriad rooms ranging from Accessible to "accessible" - but have never encountered a hotel that ticks as many boxes as the Aloft Eastside in Birmingham.

The room features a ceiling track hoist with dual powered function (up/down and movement on its track) on a static, non-XY rail. The hoist track goes into the bathroom and over the toilet (the images on this site didn't appear to show that but trust me it does), and over the chair in the wetroom-style shower via a turntable.

When booking, the hotel sent me an Instagram video of the room's accessibility features (instagram.com/reel/C-r7nXsCYql/), which I found incredibly helpful as hotels' definitions of 'accessible' can obviously vary wildly. 

Quite incredibly the bathroom was also fitted with a Closomat wash & dry bidet toilet. The room also had a powered height-adjustable sink and a fridge. There is also an interconnecting room. At the time of my stay the ceiling hoist accessible and interconnecting rooms were numbers 117 and 116 respectively. 

The Aloft Eastside feels like the new gold standard for hoist users and has left me scrambling for more reasons to visit Birmingham. I truly hope Marriott adopts this room layout in more of their Aloft and mainline hotels.

STAY AT THIS HOTEL!
