Auchinleck House was built between Broad Street and Islington Row Middleway at Five Ways Island between 1961 and 1962 by the J. Seymour Harris & Partners. 5plus converted it into a hotel from 2014 to 2016 under the name Park Regis Birmingham. The Five Ways Shopping Centre used to be below, only some of the retail units, survived, all fully refurbished and modernised, the rest was briefly a car park for the hotel, now St Martin's Place, completed in 2020.
The hotel opened to the public on the 28th March 2016.
