Bottom Line
The 174-room Hotel La Tour is a sophisticated, sleek hotel and one of Birmingham's only luxury options that isn't a hotel chain. Decor is dramatic, from the generous common spaces to the spacious, chic rooms with contemporary bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. High-tech amenities include bedside lighting controls and media hubs. Located near a railway station, the hotel is very accessible, but slightly removed from the main action in center city (though it is still just a short walk from the main attractions).

A sleek, sophisticated hotel with modern, high tech touches

Rooms
Elegant, high-tech rooms with luxurious bathrooms
Rooms are sophisticated and tastefully decorated with touches of leather, dark wood, and a rich, masculine color palette. Guests can choose from a variety of room styles -- City, Executive, Superior, and Suite. The decor is similar in all rooms, with a few minor differences. The Suite and Superior rooms are much larger, with a separate sitting room, large closets, and mini-fridges. All the rooms have flat-screen TVs embedded into the walls, safes that can fit a laptop, coffee and tea, desks, upholstered chairs, and a high-tech touch phone that controls the light settings and do not disturb light. The room also includes a media hub, which allows you to connect your personal devices to the room's surround sound system.
The bathrooms are beautiful and sleek with modern appliances, audio control, vessel sinks, large glass-door showers with rain shower heads, and steam-proof mirrors. The bathrooms in the Suites and Superior rooms are larger with luxurious bathtubs, where guests can soak while watching the flat-screen TV on the near wall or take a shower in the large glass shower with a bench.
Features
Business lounge, bar, gym, and restaurant
The hotel strongly caters to the business clientele, as a majority of guests are traveling for work or conferences. The large business lounge offers various seating areas, a flat-screen TV, an espresso machine, snacks, chilled sodas, and a variety of other drinks. Guests can also utilize the small gym, which has various Cybex machines, and a mirrored wall and towels. There are also several lounges including the Ezra lounge room off the lobby, which has couches, flat-screen TVs, and a Live Wall. There is also the sophisticated Alvar Bar, which has a impressively long copper and granite topped bar and a private VIP area. Guests can also enjoy the brasserie-style Aalto restaurant, which serves classic British dishes using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
