This rate extends to the early arrival and late departure days, and also to our attending only guests.

You can plan your journey in advance by using the National Rail Enquiries page.
The closest train station is Birmingham International Airport (BHI), which is a 10 minute walk from the hotel through the NEC. This is serviced by Birmingham New Street Station (BHM) which is a hub and reachable from most major locations.
The closest airport is Birmingham Airport(BHX), which operates a selection of direct flights from mainland Europe, as well as connecting flights from a number of US destinations.
Walk from Birmingham Airport and International Train Station to Hilton
A number of competitive coach services such as National Express and Megabus are available to Birmingham City Centre. From here, you can either opt to catch a train, detailed above, or you can catch the number 900 West Midlands National Express bus service to Birmingham Airport(BHX)
There is a 24 hour complimentary Hilton Shuttle service for residential guests, available from Birmingham International Airport/Train station. The service leaves the hotel on the hour, and half past the hour, with a 10 minute run to the airport pick up/drop off point.
The bus service does not automatically run at non peak times so guests are advised to use the courtesy phone on the concourse of Birmingham International Train Station, located just right of the news agents. Once your pick up has been scheduled, you need to make your way down the escalators to the taxi rank, and wait by the first white bus stop.
PLEASE NOTE: this service is run by the hotel, not the convention, and the hotel retain the right to withdraw the service at any time, or refuse travel.
