Travel

By train​

Stratford-upon-Avon railway station is the closest station to the hotel, approximately 1.2 miles away, around a 5-minute drive dependent on traffic, or a 15 to 20 minute walk. The station has direct services to Birmingham Snow Hill/Moor Street, Leamington Spa, and Warwick, with onward connections to London Marylebone. Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway, on the edge of town, is a second station used for some services and connects with the Stratford Park & Ride.

By car

The hotel sits just off the M40 (Junction 15), around a 10-minute drive away, with Warwick nearby. It’s approximately 30 minutes’ drive from Birmingham and around 2 hours from London. Birmingham International Airport is roughly 25 to 30 minutes away by car.

Parking

The hotel has an on-site car park with around 350 spaces, monitored by ParkingEye. Charges apply (£13 per day, rates may vary) Guests are required to register their vehicle at the front desk or pay station on arrival to avoid a penalty charge notice. There are designated accessible parking bays, and EV charging points are available on-site via the bp pulse network.

Bus and coach

Local bus services in Stratford-upon-Avon are primarily operated by Stagecoach Midlands, connecting the town centre to surrounding regional areas, nearby villages, and major transport hubs. You can plan journeys and check timetables via the Warwickshire County Council Public Transport portal.

We encourage delegates to use public transport where possible.
