Love at First Sight

Hogarths Solihull is set in a handsome contemporary two-storey building surrounded by 30 acres of parkland and gardens, including a lake with a small island. Although just a mile from the M42, meaning you can drive from Birmingham in just 45 minutes, the hotel is a rural idyll and the perfect place to get away from it all. The hotel is convenient for a number of popular tourist attractions including Stratford-upon Avon, Warwick Castle and Packwood House, a National Trust property.

Your Stay

What to Do

If you're in the mood for some retail therapy, look no further than the historic town of Solihull, just a 10-minute drive from the hotel. There, you'll find a large branch of John Lewis and designer outlets like French Connection and Karen Millen. Once you're shopped out, visit the relaxing green spaces of the town's Malvern and Brueton Park which includes an ornamental lake, woodland and a sensory garden.

The Food of Love

The Brasserie is set in a room with chic modern styling and features picture windows overlooking the gardens, plus a terrace for summer outdoor dining. The menu includes dishes like scallops with curried cauliflower puree and coriander shoots, braised lamb shank with pistachio and smoked almond crumb, and iced rhubarb parfait with rhubarb compote.
