Going to the cricket? Make a weekend of it at Edgbaston Park Hotel

1 April 2025

There are some huge matches coming up at Edgbaston this summer, including a test match against India in July. Are you looking for a hotel near Edgbaston Stadium? You won’t be on a sticky wicket at Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre.

We’ve been in partnership with Edgbaston Stadium since 2022 and, when it comes to overnight stays and guest experiences, we play with a straight bat. With us, you can look forward to delicious pre-match food and drink, post-match tipples, and a great night’s sleep once all the excitement is over.  

Location, location, location

We aren’t just a hotel near Edgbaston Stadium, we’re the closest one to it! Less than two miles away, you can get to your match in less than ten minutes by car or 12 minutes by bike. We’re outside Birmingham’s chargeable Clean Air Zone too, so you won’t have any surprise bills to pay, just more money to spend on match day.

We offer free on-site parking for all our guests, including several electric charging points, available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Travelling by train? University Station, which runs a high-frequency service to and from Birmingham New Street in just seven minutes, is only a ten-minute walk away. Once you’ve dropped your bags off with us, you can hop on a bus to the stadium from Edgbaston Park Road (approximately 20 minutes).

Indulge in some of Edgbaston’s finest food and drink

You’ll be bowled over by our food and drink offer, which champions the best of British. Expect innovative menus packed with ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients at our 1900 Restaurant and all the tipples you could want at 1900 Bar.

Our stylish bar also sells light bites, breakfast baps and pastries – perfect for when you want to grab and go. There’s also a fantastic selection of English and vegan wines, plus an array of non-alcoholic options.

We also offer an ‘after dark’ menu, which serves guest favourites from sunset to sunrise, to cater to your post-match munchies, plus afternoon tea. What could be more quintessentially British than a tower of scummy sandwiches, delectable cakes, and lashings of tea following an afternoon of cricket?

 

Get more from match day

When you stay with us, you can enjoy free access to University of Birmingham’s Sport & Fitness centre. Get a sweat on with dozens of fitness classes, a swim in the 50m pool, or the centre’s extensive range of Technogym equipment.

A gentle stroll from the centre of University of Birmingham’s campus, we’re perfectly positioned for you to explore the University’s many cultural attractions, including the Lapworth Museum of Geology. The beautiful Winterbourne House and Garden is also across the road from us, a Birmingham TripAdvisor Top 10 Attraction. As a guest, you can grab a discounted admission ticket from reception.

And relax…

Edgbaston Park Hotel is home to 185 contemporary bedrooms and three serviced apartments. Whether you want somewhere comfy to rest your head for the night or to make your Edgbaston experience extra special, we have the room for you.

On a budget? Our standard rooms offer a relaxing space to unwind, while our executive rooms offer a spacious oasis of tranquillity, plus a king-sized bed.

If you want to treat yourself, why not opt for one of our deluxe or feature rooms? Both come with complimentary robes and slippers and offer a boutique experience.

Whichever room’s for you, a great night’s sleep is guaranteed.

If you’re still not convinced that Edgbaston Park Hotel is the best hotel near Edgbaston Stadium, we think this fun fact may just sway you. University of Birmingham was a proud Official Partner of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, and Edgbaston Park Hotel was Team Wales House for the duration of the Games.  We also hosted Team England managers and officials, plus Team Jamaica, among many other sporting superstars.

When you stay with us, you will walk in the footsteps of some of the greatest names and athletes in the sporting world.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay with us today!
