The Spotlight on Novotel Birmingham Airport

Stylish Airport Hotel Just Minutes from the NEC and LG Arena

Modern and ultra-convenient, Novotel Birmingham Airport is a sleek 4-star hotel located just a 1-minute walk from the airport terminals. Designed for ease and comfort, it offers soundproofed rooms, a contemporary European restaurant, and easy access to the NEC, Resorts World Arena, and Birmingham International train station via a free SkyRail just 2 minutes away.

Whether you're flying in to see a big concert or planning a music-filled weekend, this hotel keeps everything close and stress-free.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Novotel Birmingham Airport delivers. You're just a quick ride from top venues like the NEC and Resorts World Arena, thanks to the free SkyRail service nearby. Rooms are soundproofed, so post-show rest comes easy—even with flights next door. Plus, with late check-out on Sundays up to 5 PM (subject to availability), there's no rush after a late-night encore. No on-site parking, but several NCP options are a short walk away, making pickup and drop-off easy.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends flying in for a gig or festival weekend
  • Solo travelers ticking off a must-see artist
  • Couples wanting a no-fuss weekend concert stay
  • Fans looking for a quieter, modern place to recharge
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who like value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Elements Restaurant serves modern European dishes for pre-show meals or late bites. For something casual, head to Elements Bar for light snacks, drinks, and big-screen TVs. A takeaway breakfast is available—ideal for early flights or late lie-ins. While there’s no 24/7 room service, flexible dining and nearby options make it easy to grab a bite anytime.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more laid-back, Elements Bar is a cozy spot for a nightcap with lounge seating and drinks. For more energy, hop on the SkyRail to get to Resorts World, where you’ll find bars, clubs, and live music venues just minutes away.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unbeatable location for catching flights and concerts, with many noting the rooms are quiet and clean despite the airport setting. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and the ease of getting to NEC and Resorts World is a major plus. The late Sunday check-out is particularly appreciated by gig-goers.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site parking, which can be a hassle if you’re driving in. Also, while the décor is modern, some guests found the rooms a bit basic for the price. Still, most agree that the location and amenities make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're flying in for a show or want to stay near the action without the downtown fuss, Novotel Birmingham Airport is a smart, stylish base for concert-goers looking for comfort and convenience.

Staff excellent - restaurant excellent...

Liked: The staff are brilliant, friendly and customer service was second to none. The location was fabulous for the airport. We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent. The sofa bed in this room was really comfortable - maybe fitted sheets would be better as the single sheet didn’t cover the sofa fabric and it was a bit scratchy.
Disliked: We were advised that there are no twin rooms so we had to get a family room with sofa bed and queen bed. We were advised that all these rooms came with showers over the bath and none had step into or walk into showers. It wasn’t ideal but we coped. However we were given a room on our post holiday overnight stay in a room with a step into shower and a queen bed and sofa bed?!? So it appeared they do have more suitable options! As a disabled person, not having a twin room in a hotel is disappointing especially as I travel with a carer or family so don’t share a bed with them.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Samantha Wed, 2 July 2025

Hot and uncomfortable

Liked: Location is great - the staff are amazing - the bar was open so we could get a drink on arrival at midnight. But no room service after 10:30pm.
Disliked: I am disabled and we were given room 605 which was quite a walk on crutches from the lift. The air conditioning was virtually non existent on one of the hottest nights of the year. The sofa bed was like sleeping on a wardrobe door. There was a big groove down the middle. It had no padding and was rock hard. It had only a flat sheet covering the scratchy fabric of the bench sofa which, when I moved it exposed the sofa seat covering. After two times of trying to make the bed again - I gave up. Not a good experience.
