Arden Hotel And Leisure Club

Relaxed Comfort Next to Birmingham’s Biggest Entertainment Hub

Modern yet welcoming, the Arden Hotel And Leisure Club is perfectly placed for music lovers heading to events at the NEC or Resorts World Arena. Just a short walk from Birmingham Airport and only 6 miles from the city centre, this 3-star hotel offers a comfortable base with an on-site leisure club, classic British dining, and late-night service for those returning from gigs.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—steps from NEC and Resorts World, so no need to stress about transport or parking after the show. The hotel offers a reduced night menu from 11pm to 3am, ideal for late-night bites after a gig. With check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, there’s just enough flexibility to make your stay work around your concert schedule. Rooms are equipped with 32-inch TVs and soundproofing is reasonable, offering a peaceful spot to crash after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends hitting the gig together
• Solo travelers ticking off that dream tour
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans who want to decompress in the spa after a loud night
• Budget-conscious music fans wanting solid value near the venue

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The Burgundy Suite Restaurant serves both à la carte and set menus with British and international dishes until 10:30pm. For those after-hours cravings, room service continues with a limited night menu until 3am. The Burgundy Lounge is a chilled space for a pre-show drink or late-evening unwind, offering cocktails, wine, and classic bar bites. Breakfast is available the next morning—perfect for those who stayed up dancing.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music itself, you’re steps from the action at Resorts World, where you’ll find bars, clubs, and casino nightlife. Prefer something low-key? The hotel bar’s relaxed vibe and quality drinks selection make it a good spot to wind down post-concert.

What People Say

Guests love the proximity to NEC and the airport, calling it “super convenient for shows.” The friendly staff, clean rooms, and complimentary use of the leisure club (including pool and sauna) get frequent praise. Many mention it’s a reliable, comfortable stay for concert-goers.

Areas for Improvement

The decor is a little dated in some areas, and a few guests note that the rooms could use a refresh. Wi-Fi can be spotty at times, and the limited overnight menu may not satisfy every craving. Still, for the location and price, it’s a solid choice.

The Bottom Line

If you’re seeing a show at the NEC or Resorts World Arena, the Arden Hotel And Leisure Club offers comfort, convenience, and post-concert relaxation all in one place.
