The Hyatt Regency Birmingham is a modern, four star hotel located at the junction of Broad Street and Bridge Street in Birmingham city centre. The 319 room hotel was constructed in 1990 with the International Convention Centre on the opposite side of Broad Street, to which it is connected by an elevated footbridge.

The building is one of the most distinctive in the city, being 75 metres in height and clad in floor-to-ceiling height reflective glass.

The hotel was built, and is run by, Hyatt Regency Birmingham Ltd. This company is a public-sector/private-sector partnership between the Hyatt Corporation, Trafalgar House, and Birmingham City Council. The hotel cost £37 million to build, with £1.5 million of that being provided by the city, which also donated the building site, which was, according to estimates, worth £615,000 in 1987. In April 2002, the company (with the NEC Group as the third majority shareholder, after the demise of Trafalgar House) put the hotel building up for sale. In November 2002, the hotel was sold to London Plaza Hotels for £27.5 million, with Hyatt Regency Birmingham Ltd continuing to operate it. Birmingham City Council made a £5 million profit on the sale, from its 17.5% stake in the hotel, which it used to pay off debt. In 2011, London Plaza Hotels went into administration forcing the hotel to be put up for sale by administrators, although it remained operational.

Famous guests have included world leaders who attended the 24th G8 Summit in 1998, and defence ministers attending the 2000 NATO Meeting of Defence Ministers.
