Throughout the construction of the first phase of West Midlands Metro\u2019s Birmingham Eastside extension we have been mentioning how the temporary terminus at Millennium Point is by the Clayton Hotel, and now it has been announced that the two companies have launched a partnership. This will see anyone staying at the hotel \u2013 which is just a stones throw from the Millennium Point terminus (and not too far away from Albert Street either) able to enjoy discounted tram travel during their stay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The agreement \u2013 which is to promote more sustainable travel across the city \u2013 means that any hotel guests will be able to enjoy a 15% discount on tram travel. And it doesn\u2019t stop there either, anyone who works at the hotel will be able to get a 20% discount.<\/p>\n
Michael Reading-Skilton, Metro\u2019s Head of Commercial, said: \u201cOur colleagues will also benefit from 20% off stays at the hotel, supporting a better work-life balance for our growing team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith trams running from the hotel every 15 minutes and up to every eight to ten minutes on the wider network, it\u2019s a quick and convenient way for visitors to explore the city. This latest partnership demonstrates our continued commitment to helping boost tourism in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
Discounted tickets can be purchased on the MyMetro app using codes which will be available at the hotel. Tram passengers can also unlock a special room rate by using code WMMC25 when booking online. A 15% discount can also be obtained at the hotel\u2019s Grill Restaurant and Alvar Bar with a valid Metro paper and app ticket.<\/p>\n
The Clayton Hotel Birmingham Director of Sales and Marketing added: \u201cWe 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 explore Birmingham\u2019s attractions with ease while reducing their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n
For our staff, the discount makes commuting more affordable and convenient, which supports well-being and enhances 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
