As West Midlands Metro prepares for the launch of services to Millennium Point in Birmingham, the network has announced a new partnership with Clayton Hotel Birmingham, one of the city’s leading hotels, to help support sustainable travel in the city.

The agreement will see hotel guests at the Clayton Hotel Birmingham enjoy a 15 per cent discount on tram travel during their stay, saving them money as they explore the city centre and surrounding areas.

Clayton Hotel Birmingham’s staff will also enjoy more perks, with a 20 per cent discount on tram journeys, making travelling to and from work by tram an even more attractive proposition - especially as a new stop on the Birmingham East Side Extension is located right outside the hotel.

Our own staff will also enjoy 20 per cent off stays at the hotel as another employee benefit as we strive to deliver an even better work/life balance for our growing team.

 

With trams running every eight minutes, the tram also offers a swift and convenient way for visitors to make the most of the area’s events and attractions, and this latest partnership demonstrates our commitment to helping boost tourism in the region.

- Elizabeth Cole, Marketing and Communications Manager, Metro

 

The travel discounts for Clayton Hotel Birmingham guests and employees apply to all Metro fare zones and are available exclusively through the MyMetro App, which is available to download on Apple and Android devices.

We are delighted to be working with West Midlands Metro on this exciting initiative. Sustainability is at the heart of our values, and giving our guests and team members easier, greener access to the city is a fantastic step forward. With the new tram stop right on our doorstep, visitors can enjoy Birmingham’s attractions with ease while reducing their carbon footprint. 

 

For our staff, the discount makes commuting more affordable and convenient, which supports wellbeing and work-life balance. We believe this partnership will not only benefit our hotel community but also contribute to a wider tourism boost across  Birmingham City.
