Early risers or slow starters can enjoy breakfast on-site—ideal after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more focused on relaxation, you're close to local bars, pubs, and lounges in Solihull town centre. Whether you're looking for a nightcap or somewhere to keep the party going, there’s plenty within walking distance.

What People Say

Reviews consistently praise the peaceful setting, friendly staff, and clean, spacious rooms. Guests love the added bonus of the leisure facilities, especially the pool and sauna, which are perfect for recharging after a high-energy night out. The free parking is also a major win, especially for those driving in for a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel can be a bit quiet if you're looking for a party vibe on-site. Also, while the hotel is close to venues, it's not right next door—so plan for a short train or car ride. Child swimming hours may restrict pool access for families at certain times.

The Bottom Line

Crowne Plaza Solihull is a comfortable, well-located choice for concert-goers who want easy access to shows and a peaceful place to recover afterward.
