Searching for the best hotel near the NEC Birmingham usually comes down to the same handful of things: how close it actually is, whether it is somewhere you would want to spend the evening, and whether it is good value once you add up parking and extras. Here is where The Limes Country Lodge fits into that picture.
Close enough, without being on top of it
We are just half a mile from Junction 3 of the M42, around a 15 minute drive from Junction 6 for the NEC. That is close enough for an easy journey in either direction, without putting you right in the middle of exhibition traffic or paying the premium that comes with staying directly on-site. For most guests, the extra few minutes on the motorway is a fair trade for a quieter night’s sleep, and free on-site parking means you are not hunting for a space among thousands of other exhibition visitors either.
Somewhere worth spending the evening
A hotel near the NEC is not just somewhere to sleep, it is where you end up spending your evenings after a long day on a stand or at an event. The Limes sits in six acres of rural grounds in Earlswood, with a proper restaurant and bar on-site, so there is no need to head back out once you are back from the NEC. It is a genuinely different feel to a chain hotel surrounded by car parks, and it is the reason so many of our guests come back for the next show.
Straightforward value
On-site parking is free for guests, so you are not adding exhibition or airport parking charges on top of your room rate. Rooms are available on a room-only, bed and breakfast, or dinner, bed and breakfast basis, giving you the flexibility to build a stay around your schedule and budget rather than paying for extras you do not need.
Built for exhibitor teams and groups
If you are working a stand over several days, we are used to accommodating exhibitor teams and event crews travelling to the same show together. Our team can help with room availability across your dates. For larger teams, it is worth getting in touch as early as possible, particularly for dates during major NEC shows when demand across the whole area is high.
More than just a stopover
Because we sit on the edge of Solihull and the Warwickshire countryside, guests who extend their trip either side of the NEC find plenty to make the visit worthwhile beyond the exhibition halls, whether that is dinner in our restaurant, afternoon tea, or simply a proper night’s sleep in the countryside before heading home.
