The Spotlight on Solent Hotel and Spa

Woodland Retreat with Easy Access to Concert Hotspots

Modern comfort meets rustic charm at the Solent Hotel and Spa, a 4-star gem tucked into peaceful woodland between Southampton and Portsmouth. With stylish rooms, a full-service spa, and a renowned on-site grill, this hotel is a relaxing base just off the M27—ideal for concert-goers looking to unwind before or after the show.
Each room includes free WiFi, air conditioning, mineral water, and fresh coffee with real milk, plus calming views and modern décor to help you recharge after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short drive from both Southampton and Portsmouth venues, the Solent Hotel and Spa offers the best of both worlds: quick access to shows with a restful, quiet escape afterward. The hotel is conveniently located near the M27, making late-night transport by car or taxi a breeze. Flexible check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM gives you time to sleep in after a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends enjoying a concert weekend with spa perks
  • Solo travelers seeking both energy and relaxation
  • Couples turning a gig into a romantic getaway
  • Fans looking for a peaceful post-show retreat
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value with style

Food and Drink Options

Hungry after a gig? The on-site FYR Restaurant & Grill offers locally sourced grilled meats and seafood in a live kitchen setting, with dining on the Al Fresco terrace. For something more casual, Parson’s Collar next door has home-cooked meals, a pizza oven, and even its own ice cream parlor. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, the variety of dining options and late-night pub atmosphere hit the spot. Breakfast is available the next morning—perfect for post-show recovery.

Nightlife Options

While you won’t find a club inside the hotel, Parson’s Collar pub offers a relaxed spot to grab a drink before or after your show. Thwaites beers and a cozy country-pub setting make it a great place to debrief after a concert. For something livelier, the nightlife of Portsmouth or Southampton is just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spotless rooms, friendly staff, and the tranquil spa facilities. Many mention how quiet the location is despite being near major cities, and the food consistently earns high marks. The hotel’s convenience to the motorway is a big plus for travelers heading to events.

Areas for Improvement

The spa and leisure facilities incur an additional cost, which might surprise some guests. Also, while the location is peaceful, it’s a bit remote if you’re not driving—so plan transport accordingly.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Portsmouth or Southampton and want a relaxing, upscale place to recharge, the Solent Hotel and Spa delivers comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

Decent facilities, with some strange...

Liked: Comfortable beds, nice swimming pool area
Disliked: Extra charge for using the swimming pool because we had booked through booking.com (apparently it would have been included if we’d booked direct)Absolutely massive queue for breakfast in the morning, despite asking people to book a time.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Liv Sun, 20 July 2025

Disappointing stay

Liked: We had our evening meal here as well as staying and the fillet steak was cooked perfect. The general atmosphere was nice.
Disliked: My starter had a large prawn in the prawn cocktail and it was de-shelled apart from the head for presentation however they had not removed the poop tract, told the waiter, I assumed it was passed on but no one came back to me about it to even say sorry etc, the fillet steak meal is lovely but its missing the garlic and sides and the 'chunky' chips were huge so then turned out to be under cooked.The bed, so uncomfortable, clearly used a lot as had a dip in the middle which annoyingly myself and husband kept rolling into, generally very uncomfortable and the pillows were awful, not to much the noise, the doors slam naturally so didnt sleep alot at all. Gutted really for the price you pay.

Superb

Liked: Lovely hotel, great service and friendly staff. Very spacious rooms which were clean and so well equipped too. Breakfast was fresh and tasty and you can have food and coffees to order. We paid to use the spa after we checked out as the rain scuppered our plans and £35 for a full day is an absolute bargain. I also had a stunning massage. There’s a great space outside the spa to sit in the sunshine. Great facilities and would highly recommend.
