Our verdict

You will find Genting Hotel on Pendigo Way, Solihull and the NEC, 7.9 miles from New Street. It is on the NEC and Resorts World complex, so the halls are a walk rather than a drive.

Birmingham Airport is 1.3 miles away. On parking, own car park, charged. Underground parking directly beneath the hotel, which guests describe as optional and on the expensive side.

On the spa: its own spa. The site is cashless and guests report a card deposit on arrival.. That comes from guest reports rather than the operator, so confirm it when you book.

Only one of the Birmingham destinations we measure is within fifteen minutes on foot from here: the NEC Birmingham, about 6 minutes. Everything else means transport.

It holds 8.7 out of 10 on Booking from 4,025 reviews, a normal sample for the city. That is 0.4 above the 8.3 average across the other 3 rated properties we compare in Solihull and the NEC.

In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £135 a night. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.

Its closest neighbour in our selection is Crowne Plaza Birmingham Nec by IHG, 153 metres away. Against that one, this hotel usually costs more and has a spa it does not.

It qualifies for our hotels with parking, hotels with hot tubs and spa hotels in and around birmingham comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.

It is not the right answer for everyone, because the city centre is 7.9 miles away, so an evening in town needs a plan for the journey back.
