Hotels Near NEC Birmingham: Stay in Burton upon Trent

The Smarter Accommodation Choice for the NEC Birmingham

Whether you are attending a major trade expo, exhibiting your company's latest products, or visiting a live consumer show, finding the right hotel near the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham can be a challenge. Hotels directly surrounding the NEC and Birmingham Airport often see their room rates surge during major events, and city-centre options frequently come with crowded multi-storey car parks, steep parking charges, and heavy traffic delays.

Positioned conveniently along the A38 corridor, the historic market town of Burton upon Trent has become an increasingly popular base for NEC attendees and business delegates. Offering straightforward road connections, regular rail links, and excellent value, choosing to stay in Burton allows you to escape the intense exhibition hubbub at the end of a busy day.

At Three Queens Hotel & Lodge, located on Bridge Street in Burton upon Trent, we offer 62 comfortable rooms, free on-site parking, and an easy commute to the exhibition halls.

Getting from Burton upon Trent to the NEC

One of the primary benefits of staying in Burton upon Trent is the direct, stress-free transit down the A38 trunk road. Depending on your travel preferences, reaching the NEC can be achieved smoothly by car or by train:

• By Car: The Three Queens Hotel sits right by the A38 corridor. By driving south along the A38 and connecting directly onto the M42 south, you can arrive at the NEC Birmingham car parks in approximately 35 to 45 minutes outside of peak rush hour. Unlike central Birmingham accommodations, you avoid city-centre clean air charges and complex inner-ring detours.
• By Train: Burton upon Trent railway station is situated just 1 mile from Three Queens Hotel. Regular CrossCountry services take you directly south to Birmingham New Street or nearby rail interchanges like Tamworth, connecting directly through to Birmingham International station, which opens straight into the NEC concourse. This allows you to travel without worrying about motorway congestion.
