The centre is located in central Birmingham on Hill Street and will have all required AV and catering requirements on-site.
The hotel works with each organiser to create something different and completely unique to ensure their experience is as memorable as possible.

The hotel are in the process of renovating a previously unused floor of the building to create 2 brand new spaces, The Archives and The Cellars. Each space will be able to accommodate up to 350 guests in a banquet layout and will feature the same industrial urban aesthetics Victoria Warehouse has become synonymous with.

Sundial asked the question “what would you like the future of conference spaces to look like?” and the delegates responded.
After holding a survey sundial got the answers they wanted from their delegates, which they are now using to their advantage and are incorporating into their refurbishments.
Delegates are changing what they want, moving away from the more conventional four walls and stuffy board rooms, they are looking to embrace outside space, incorporating colour, sounds and smells. Sundial will install new lighting, furniture and facilities which will reflect the desire of today’s meeting planners and attendees for more flexible, free flowing and relaxed meeting environments.
Here’s to the future.
The Savoy Suite has just opened at The Savoy Hotel, as well as the renovated Royal Suite. The suite carries through the Edwardian and Art Deco styles, with modern touches, found elsewhere in the classic hotel. Architecture firm ReardonSmith have created a Suite experience with unparalleled levels of luxury. The Art Deco aesthetic comes complete with walnut floors, black marble shelves, stitched panelled doors, creamy leather furnishings and a warming bronze and copper fireplace. The illustrious materials are continued into the master and secondary bedrooms where the gilded vanity counter throws back to the hotel’s opulent past. The newly renovated Suite spans nearly all of the fifth floor and includes the spot where Monet once painted the Thames. The room follows a colour palette of yellow ochre and gold.
