Hotels Near NEC Birmingham: Stay in Burton upon Trent

Smart Accommodation for NEC Birmingham Events

Whether you are attending an international trade expo, exhibiting your business products, or heading down for a major live concert at Resorts World Arena, visiting the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham is an exciting date on the calendar. However, finding affordable and comfortable hotels near the NEC can prove challenging. As major shows approach, hotels located directly on the NEC campus or within central Birmingham routinely escalate their room tariffs and charge premium rates for overnight parking.

Savvy exhibitors, business travellers, and eventgoers regularly look slightly further afield along direct transport arteries to secure better value and a more peaceful night's rest. Located in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, Three Queens Hotel & Lodge offers a practical, budget-friendly base along the A38 corridor. With straightforward road and rail links down to Birmingham International, our hotel lets you avoid peak event pricing while enjoying a relaxed town-centre setting.

The A38 Route: Commuting from Burton to the NEC

One of the primary advantages of staying at Three Queens Hotel is our position right on the A38 corridor. The A38 provides a direct dual-carriageway route heading south toward the M42 motorway. Under typical driving conditions, reaching the NEC and Birmingham Airport from our hotel takes approximately 35 to 45 minutes by car.

For motorists, our hotel features free on-site parking, removing the stress and expense of hunting for parking spaces or paying high daily hotel vehicle fees. Simply park your car securely on our grounds after a busy day on your feet at the exhibition halls.

If you prefer public transport, Burton upon Trent railway station is just one mile away. Frequent cross-country services run from Burton to Birmingham New Street, where you can catch swift, frequent connections directly into Birmingham International station, connecting seamlessly via the covered walkway straight into the heart of the NEC complex.
