Britannia Royal Court Hotel

Classic Country Style Just Minutes from Coventry’s Music Scene

Set within 11 acres of landscaped gardens and parkland, the Britannia Royal Court Hotel is a traditional 19th-century manor house that blends countryside charm with easy access to Coventry's music venues. Just 3 miles from central Coventry and a 15-minute drive to the Birmingham NEC, it’s a great spot for concert-goers wanting a scenic retreat after the show. With on-site leisure facilities and multiple bars and restaurants, this hotel offers both relaxation and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love the quiet, country atmosphere after an energetic night out. Its location just a short drive from the NEC and other major venues like the Coventry Building Society Arena makes it an ideal base. Taxis and rideshares are readily available, and with a 4pm check-in, you can settle in before heading to your gig. Though check-out is at 10am, the beautiful grounds and spa are perfect for a slow start to the day.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable base with bar options
• Solo travelers attending a big-name tour stop
• Couples enjoying a relaxed weekend around a concert
• Fans seeking a calm, scenic spot to unwind after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value with character

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features a traditional Carvery Restaurant serving British and French dishes in an elegant setting. For lighter fare or a nightcap, the cozy Balmoral Bar overlooks the gardens and two other bars offer a wide selection of drinks and cocktails. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the dining options are perfect pre- or post-show, and breakfast is available to help you recover the next morning.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s within easy reach of Coventry’s nightlife. Local pubs and bars are just a short cab ride away, and the hotel’s bars are ideal for a relaxing drink. If you're heading into Birmingham after a show, you’re only about 25 minutes from some of the city's top clubs and live venues.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the historic charm and peaceful setting, especially after the noise of a big concert. Reviewers highlight the value for money, spacious grounds, and friendly staff. Many mention the spa and pool as a great way to unwind. It's not modern luxury, but it offers a unique, comfortable experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers find the decor a little dated and note that the hotel could benefit from a refresh. Wi-Fi can be spotty in certain rooms, and the 10am check-out might feel early after a late night — but a walk in the gardens or a trip to the spa can help ease you into the day.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a relaxing, budget-friendly stay near Coventry’s top music venues, the Britannia Royal Court Hotel delivers classic charm and easy access to the action.
