Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland & Wales have evolved dramatically over time.
Today, LGBT citizens have most of the same legal rights as non-LGBT citizens and the UK provides one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world for its LGBT communities, although the UK has recently fallen behind other counties in international rankings. In ILGA-Europe‘s 2015 review of LGBT rights, the UK received the highest score in Europe, with 86% progress toward “respect of human rights and full equality” for LGBT people and 92% in Scotland alone.

Lovely hotel, Rooms are large & comfortable, with lifts to all floors. The food is excellent & the restaurant has a fantastic view over Birmingham. The hotel itself is about 5 minutes from Birmingham New Street Station.
I always use Indigo hotels where I can as I am a fan of the customer service and boutique style. With an early start this morning in Birmingham I decided to go up yesterday and stay in Birmingham somewhere central. Indigo first choice ticked the box. Reading the reviews on here the day before I panicked as some were very poor. First class train up and short walk from New Street Station and I was greeted warmly by a lovely lady on reception.
She confirmed I requested a quiet room away from the lifts, and said she was able to give me any advice to the area for meals. Room was fantastic with a great view. I had work to do so considered room service but to be fair there’s only expensive Marco Pierre White restaurant and no wine list in the room. It’s all steaks and pizza. I fancied chicken and within 2 mins found a Nando’s and had a decent meal quickly. The hotel is superbly located and I slept like a log. Room was quiet and the biggest noise was the ac which I set for 18C to sleep.
Firstly, the hotel is a stone’s throw from Birmingham New Street railway station but I couldn’t initially find it. You need to go through The Mailbox, up the escalators, past the plethora of restaurants and over the canal bridge and The Cube, home of Hotel Indigo, is directly ahead. Reception at ‘6th floor’ is right there.
Rooms are on floors 23 and 24. Mine was an ordinary room. Perfectly clean, modern and lovely – and spacious – but a touch cold and sterile compared to other Hotel Indigos. There was a gown and slippers, as standard.
The minibar contained complimentary soft drinks and snacks, very welcome, of course,, but, unlike other Hotel Indigos, not wine or beer, so be aware of this if you have stayed in others.
The spa was nice: decent size pool, sauna and steam room. There are plenty of lockers and the showers and hair dryers are of a standard you’d find in a local gym. Unfortunately most of the dozen or so loungers by the pool had towels on them. It is open to the public.
Although I didn’t have a treatment, that area seemed very large and welcoming and (for those who forget items) had a good range of Elemis shampoos and skincare products. As an addition to the hotel, the spa was a lovely feature.
On a sunny Friday evening, the open-air, rooftop bar (25th floor), looking back into the city, was a great feature. Despite there being graduation and hen parties, there was plenty of seating. The 300 degree views across and beyond the city from the adjacent Marco Pierre White restaurant were incredible.

he hotel is very close to a lot of attractions in Birmingham and once we’d arrived we left the car in the car park and walked everywhere.
The welcome was friendly and informative. I would have liked to have made use of the leisure facilities(Sauna, steam room and gym) but time was a bit tight.
We did have breakfast at the hotel and it went down very well – it was a good breakfast buffet and set us up well for a long day in Birmingham.The car park cost £18 for between 8 and 24 hours. This sounds expensive but it was more convenient and probably cheaper than parking elsewhere within the area. It is also very secure and you can park there beyond check-out time.
Room was massive, although could do with a bit of an update decoration wise, and the separate toilet to the bathroom was novel, but very cramped.
The hotel reception was bright and airy and the staff welcoming and friendly. Breakfast (best way to judge a hotel) was great, and the lady who was on duty and sorted our table was so friendly, just wish I’d got her name!
Not a bad hotel, and even though it’s right on Broad Street experienced no issues with noise.
Comfortable room, pillows a bit hard for me but that is personal taste, and good Nespresso. Hotel is in a good location, only 5-10 min walk to Arena. Fast and easy check in and check out.

Breakfast is a continental breakfast. We enjoy starting the day choosing a few things we like from there. For the price, it is a bargain to have this included. The bar/ lounge is very cosy and you can help yourself to a magazine if you wish.
The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. We slept soundly.
The location is great. It’s still quite a close distance to the city centre, but still far enough out if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle.
The staff are what really makes this hotel though. They are very welcoming, will take the time to chat to you and are able to suggest places for you to go (e.g if their own restaurant is closed due to a function going on). Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are extremely thoughtful.
The hotel is about a mile out of the city <span class=”_3f5ztoLj”>centre on the main Hagley Rd, an ideal location if you want to walk, bus or taxi into the Birmingham City Centre. They staff were welcoming and very helpful with advice.
The room although seemly quite small was quiet and had everything we needed to have a good nights sleep. There are Tea & coffee making facilities in the room. Ours had a bathroom but no bath, just a shower. All was clean and tidy as you would expect and want!
Our first night was was perfect, we had a nightcap in the bar before going to our room. The WiFi in our room No. 120 was excellent, great reception and download speeds.
The breakfast was good, lots of choices albeit nothing cooked such as bacon and egg but the variety compensated for that.
Continental breakfast is included in the price & served until 10am. I was delighted with the choice which was fresh & replenished promptly. The choice included cereals, yoghurts, dried fruits, fresh fruit, cheese, ham, bagels, bread/toast, croissants & some delicious small doughnuts with either apple or Nutella filling. Drinks were fruit juices or the usual tea/coffee. There was also hot chocolate or herbal teas.
The breakfast area had comfortable seating & a TV showing Sky News in the corner.
All staff I interacted with were very professional, friendly and helpful.
