The Swan by Innkeeper's Collection

Charming countryside stay just minutes from the music

The Swan by Innkeeper's Collection offers a cozy, traditional escape in the historic market town of Coleshill. Just a 10-minute drive from Birmingham NEC and 15 minutes from Birmingham city centre, it's a peaceful spot surrounded by rolling countryside—perfect for winding down after a loud night out.

Rooms are bright and warmly decorated with a classic pub-lodge vibe. Guests enjoy free parking, comfortable en-suite rooms, and the convenience of an on-site Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery serving up hearty British fare.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Swan is just a short drive or taxi ride from Birmingham NEC and Resorts World Arena, making it a handy base for gigs and events. Being set in a quieter town means you’ll escape the post-show chaos and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. With check-out at 12:00, there’s time to recover after late-night encores. Plus, with West Orton Rail Station just 2.5 miles away and Birmingham Airport only 5 miles out, getting in and out is easy—even late at night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends wanting a relaxed pre/post-show hangout
• Solo travelers looking for a safe and peaceful stay
• Couples making a romantic weekend of a concert
• Fans needing a quiet recovery space after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery pub serves up piping hot pizzas, traditional roasts, and classic pub dishes all day. While there's no 24/7 room service or late-night menu, the hearty meals and casual dining environment hit the spot before or after a show. Early riser or late sleeper? Breakfast is available to help you refuel after a night out.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of its charm. The on-site pub is a lively, social spot for a pre-gig pint or relaxed evening in. For more nightlife, Birmingham’s clubs, bars, and live music venues are just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and the great value for money. Many mention how easy it is to get to the NEC and appreciate the peaceful location after a hectic concert. The free parking and countryside charm also get frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

This is an older building, so soundproofing isn’t perfect—light sleepers, bring earplugs. There's no lift, so those with mobility issues may want to request a ground-floor room. And while the pub is great, food options are limited late at night.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, comfortable base near Birmingham NEC with a cozy pub vibe and quiet surroundings, The Swan by Innkeeper's Collection is a solid pick for concert-goers.
