Classic Comfort Just Minutes from Birmingham's Music Scene
Modern yet unpretentious, the
Apollo Hotel offers an affordable and laid-back stay in the Edgbaston area, just a short drive from central Birmingham. With easy access to the NEC, ICC, and Birmingham New Street Station, it’s a smart base for anyone heading into the city for a show or festival.
Whether you're catching a concert downtown or heading to a major event at the National Indoor Arena, you'll appreciate the hotel's relaxed vibe and practical location.
Why Concert-goers love it
Location is key—and Apollo Hotel delivers. You're
just a few minutes by car or train from top music venues, with Birmingham New Street Station and major roadways close by. Despite its proximity to nightlife, the hotel is tucked just far enough away to offer a
quieter night's sleep post-show. With a
12:00 PM check-out, you won’t need to rush out the door the morning after. Plus, late-night transport options are easily accessible.

late-night eateries within walking distance, and breakfast is served in the morning—ideal after a late night out.
Nightlife Options
Birmingham’s vibrant nightlife is close by. The hotel is just a short walk or quick cab ride from
popular clubs, bars, and live music venues. Back at the hotel, the
casual bar serves up local drinks in a relaxed setting—perfect for unwinding without the crowds.
