Work From Rotana

A Quiet Place to Work in Birmingham

Before the evening rush, the lounge is one of the calmest rooms in Highgate — WiFi, power, deep seating and a kitchen that's already open.

Daytime, before the lounge fills

We open at 1PM Monday to Thursday and 2PM on Sunday. Those first hours are quiet: low music, warm light and space to spread out. If you have been rotating between the same city-centre coffee shops hunting for a table and a plug socket, this is a different kind of room.

What you get

  • Free WiFi throughout the lounge
  • Power near most seating areas
  • Deep booths and low tables — comfortable for several hours
  • Hot drinks, fresh juices, smoothies and mocktails
  • A full kitchen from open, so lunch does not mean leaving
  • Shisha available whenever you want to switch off

Good for

Solo focused work, informal client meetings, small team catch-ups, freelancers and students who want somewhere that is neither an office nor a library. It is an alcohol-free venue, so afternoon meetings stay professional.

A few honest notes

From early evening the lounge gets busy and the atmosphere shifts — that is the point of the place. If you need several quiet hours, arrive early in the afternoon. For a group of four or more during the day, message us first so we can hold a table.
