Holiday Inn Northampton

Riverside Relaxation Just Minutes from Northampton's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Northampton is a comfortable hotel nestled along the River Nene. Just 2 miles from central Northampton and a short drive from the M1, this laid-back hotel offers a peaceful escape with easy access to the area’s concert venues and nightlife. With free parking, a casual brasserie, and cosy rooms featuring both bathtubs and showers, it's a smart choice for music fans looking to unwind after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a gig in central Northampton or heading to Silverstone for a festival, this hotel is conveniently located for a quick trip back after the encore. Guests love the free parking (a huge perk when driving in for a show), and the hotel’s peaceful riverside setting makes it ideal for recharging after a loud night out. With a 12:00 pm check-out, you won’t need to rush your recovery, and the on-site bar is perfect for a post-show nightcap.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a hassle-free base with room to relax
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist in town
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right (even if it starts late) with a generous breakfast served until 10 a.m.. Craving something after the show? The on-site brasserie offers a range of dishes including pastas, salads, and curries, and the lounge bar is a chill spot to unwind with a drink. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late enough for most concert-goers, and there are several eateries a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a wind-down spot than a party hub, central Northampton's nightlife is just a short taxi ride away, with bars, pubs, and late-night lounges. For those wanting a more relaxed vibe, the hotel bar serves up local beers and comfy seating—ideal for discussions about the best setlist moments.

What People Say

Guests highlight the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and the “surprisingly quiet atmosphere” despite being near town. Many mention the hotel's great value for money, especially with the free parking and kids-eat-free policy. The riverside location also gets praise for being peaceful and scenic.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t in the heart of the city, so expect a short drive or taxi ride to most venues and nightlife. Some guests mention the décor feels a little dated in parts, but agree it’s clean and well-maintained.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a quiet, convenient, and budget-friendly stay near Northampton’s music scene, Holiday Inn Northampton hits all the right notes.
