The Property — Hilton B & B
The Hilton B & B in Solihull is a sensible, no-frills three-star hotel that feels more like a reliable roadside pit-stop than a destination. The lobby is functional and clean with a small seating area, a reception desk that gets you checked in quickly, and a breakfast room doing a solid full English. It suits budget-conscious business travellers or families wanting a clean bed near Birmingham Airport without the airport-hotel premium.
Chronicles of Solihull
Solihull grew from a medieval market town, granted its market charter in 1242, into a prosperous commuter suburb of Birmingham during the 19th-century industrial expansion. The town centre still retains a Tudor-style core around the 13th-century St Alphege Church, heavily restored after Victorian expansion. Post-war, Solihull became renowned for its Land Rover and Jaguar plants, shaping its modern identity as a hub for engineering and logistics. Today it’s a confident, green-belt-edge town with a strong sense of its own identity, distinct from Birmingham yet heavily intertwined with it.
Best Time to Visit
Full Solihull guide →Best months
June and September – comfortable temperatures (18–22°C), long daylight hours, and the Solihull Summer Festival in July/August avoids peak holiday crowds in June.
Peak / festival surge
July and August – school summer holidays push hotel prices up 20–30% from June rates. The Solihull Summer Festival (late July–August) and NEC events (e.g. Crufts in March, International Motor Show in August) spike demand especially on weekends.
Budget shoulder season
May and September – cheaper room rates by 15–25% vs peak, still reliably pleasant weather (14–20°C), and far fewer families or NEC crowds. Perfect for a quiet budget stay.
Weather & packing
Solihull’s weather is famously changeable; a sunny morning can turn to drizzle by lunch. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers – a t-shirt under a fleece or cardigan – plus comfortable walking shoes for town exploration.
Live City Briefing — Solihull
- Solihull town centre’s Touchwood shopping complex is undergoing a multi-million-pound revamp with new dining outlets due to open by late 2026 – check for closures around the John Lewis store.
- The A452 and M42 junction near the hotel has temporary lane restrictions from June 2026 for road resurfacing; allow extra 15 minutes for airport or motorway access.
- Birmingham Airport’s new security scanners (introduced mid-2025) now allow liquids in carry-on without bagging, but still enforce the 100ml limit – useful if flying from nearby BHX.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hilton B & B, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request room 106 or above, as these are located in the main building and have access to the lift. This will ensure a convenient and easy access to all hotel facilities.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms 101-105 are located in the annexe and do not have lift access, so if you have mobility issues, it's best to avoid these rooms.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address does not offer any notable views. Pendigo Way is a relatively quiet road, and the surrounding area is mostly residential and commercial.
Quietest floors
Floys 2-3 seem to be the quietest, as they are located away from the main road and lift. However, keep in mind that the hotel is situated near a busy road, so some road noise may still be present.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on a relatively busy road means that some rooms may experience road noise, especially during peak hours. However, the hotel has a free on-site car park, which can help minimize the impact of traffic noise.
Insider tips
Take advantage of the free on-site car park, as it can save you £6 compared to parking at the Solihull Town Centre Car Park. If you're planning to stay for an extended period, consider requesting a room with a roll-in shower, as this is the only accessible room on the ground floor.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Top Attractions in Solihull
💡 Arrive just before the midday bell ringing practice (usually Wednesday or Saturday at 11:45) to see the tower from the inside—just ask the ringers nicely.
💡 Check the library’s events board for free Saturday morning story-telling sessions for children—often themed around local history with crafts included.
💡 Bring a specific question or a family name—the volunteer archivists are very knowledgeable and will dig out maps or census records you won’t find online. Best visited on weekday mornings when they’re less busy.
💡 The lavender garden near the lake is at its best in late July. Feed the ducks but bring your own bird seed—the on-site vending machines often run out.
💡 Park at the Waitrose end of the retail park and start walking anti-clockwise—the best river views are in the first kilometre. Keep an ear out for the green woodpecker in the orchard section.
