Neil Edginton, director at The Cube, comments: "The countdown is on to the official launch of the hotel and restaurant and The Cube has never been busier, with the teams working flat out to ensure everything is perfect for opening night.

"In the past few months the restaurant and hotel have been transformed into a glamorous leisure venue, which will offer the ultimate rooftop dining experience with luxury accommodation and panoramic views across the city.

"There is a real sense of anticipation for those of us working and living in and around The Cube as the launch will undoubtedly bring a new dimension to The Cube and to Birmingham city centre as a whole."

Mark Nesbitt, General Manager of the hotel and restaurant said "Unsurprisingly we've had huge interest with bookings going fast, so anyone interested in being one of the first to dine or stay at The Cube before Christmas should get in touch now to avoid disappointment."
