The Grand Hotel Birmingham has teamed up with one of the city’s leading restaurants, Opheem, to deliver the ultimate foodie escape.
The new Gourmet Getaway package gives guests the chance to stay at the Grand and experience dinner at Opheem — the only Indian restaurant outside London to hold a Michelin star.
Led by award-winning head chef Aktar Islam, who featured on MasterChef and has been a Great British Menu winner, Opheem takes a modern approach to fine dining using a base of Indian flavours.
As part of the package, guests will also be treated to the Grand Hotel’s luxurious afternoon tea experience, served in the Salon of the hotel’s cocktail bar, Madeleine.
Adam Bateman, culinary director of The Grand Hotel Birmingham, said: “Birmingham’s reputation as a superlative culinary destination continues to build, and this partnership is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. We’re delighted to introduce Opheem to our guests — this is a world-class experience right here in Birmingham.”
The Gourmet Getaway package includes a two-night stay at The Grand with breakfast and is valid for bookings on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays only. The package must be booked four weeks in advance, is adult only, and is for two adults per room, up to a maximum of four rooms per night. Prices start from £299.
Islam said: “I love The Grand. It’s a fantastic place to introduce people to Birmingham and the perfect partner for Opheem. I’m delighted to work with Adam and the team at The Grand to deliver the ultimate experience for those wanting to stay and dine in two of the best destinations in the city.”
