De Vere Orchard Hotel

Eco-Modern Comfort Near Nottingham's Music Scene

Modern and eco-conscious, the De Vere Orchard Hotel sits on the edge of the University of Nottingham campus, offering a stylish and peaceful retreat just a short ride from the heart of the city. With its green roofs, rooftop terraces, and sleek glass-fronted design, this 4-star hotel is a refreshing blend of sustainability and comfort. Opened in 2012, it features bespoke furnishings, water-saving bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in loads of natural light.
The location puts you close to key attractions like Wollaton Hall and Nottingham Castle—and easily within reach of the city's popular concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is the ideal base if you're catching a show in Nottingham. It's quiet and tucked away from the city centre buzz, making it perfect for unwinding after a high-energy gig. Transport options are solid—taxis and Ubers are easy to grab, and it's only a short hop to downtown venues. With a 3pm check-in and 11am checkout, there's flexibility for afternoon arrivals and a bit of a lie-in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want comfy, connected rooms with a stylish vibe
• Solo travelers looking for a chilled, secure base
• Couples making a full weekend of their music trip
• Fans needing a peaceful recovery spot after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Brasserie-style restaurant and bar serves up modern British dishes and a smart drinks menu. There’s a terrace for al fresco dining, perfect for pre-show snacks or post-concert wind-downs. While there's no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late enough for a nightcap, and breakfast is available for those late risers.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than raving, you're only a short ride from Nottingham’s buzzing nightlife scene. Whether you're after live music, craft cocktails, or a laid-back pub vibe, there are plenty of options nearby. The hotel bar is a chill place to start or end your evening.

What People Say

Guests rave about the modern design, friendly staff, and peaceful setting. The floor-to-ceiling windows and rooftop gardens get frequent shout-outs, as does the overall sense of calm. Many reviewers highlight the eco-friendly touches and say it's a fantastic value for the quality you get.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel isn't in the town centre, so be prepared for a short drive or ride to get to venues and nightlife. Also, while the vibe is relaxed, it’s not a party hotel—perfect for some, but not for those looking for a wild afterparty scene.

The Bottom Line

With its sustainable style, serene setting, and easy access to Nottingham’s live music venues, De Vere Orchard Hotel is a top pick for concert-goers wanting comfort with a touch of eco-luxury.
