When you’re planning a conference, meeting or corporate event, the venue itself is only part of the decision. Location can play a significant role in the success of your event, from making travel easier for delegates to providing an environment where people can focus, connect and collaborate.
Here at Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre, we know that accessibility matters. Set within University of Birmingham’s campus in leafy Edgbaston, we offer excellent transport connections, a peaceful setting and easy access to Birmingham city centre. Delegates can enjoy the benefits of being close to the city while staying in a quieter environment away from the hustle and bustle.
A Birmingham conference venue with excellent transport links
A great location means making things straightforward for delegates. Whether they are travelling from across the UK or locally, Edgbaston Park Hotel is easy to reach by rail, road and public transport.
By train:
University Station is just a short 10-minute walk from the hotel, making train travel one of the easiest ways for delegates to arrive at the hotel. From University Station, Birmingham New Street can be reached in just seven minutes, providing direct connections across the wider rail network.

For delegates travelling by bus, the nearest bus stop is located directly outside the hotel entrance, with services connecting towards Birmingham city centre and surrounding areas. We are also conveniently located around 15 minutes by taxi from Birmingham city centre, making us an accessible choice for local and national events.

For those travelling by car, we offer complimentary onsite parking, and our location outside Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone provides an added benefit for drivers. We also have six electric vehicle charging points available onsite, allowing guests travelling with electric vehicles to recharge during their visit. Please note that EV charging is chargeable.
Making sustainable travel easier with discounted rail journeys
We are committed to helping delegates make more sustainable travel choices. For organisations looking to reduce the environmental impact of business travel, encouraging delegates to travel by rail can be an important part of a more sustainable event strategy.
Through our partnership with West Midlands Railway, delegates get access to a 20% discount on rail travel when attending an event here at Edgbaston Park Hotel. This makes travelling by train a more affordable and convenient option, helping reduce the environmental impact of business travel.
A conference venue designed for every size of event
A convenient location is only part of choosing the right conference venue. The space also needs to suit your event and delegates.
At Edgbaston Park Hotel, we offer a variety of flexible meeting rooms designed to suit events of different sizes, including smaller meetings, workshops, and training sessions. The right location can make a real difference to the delegate experience, helping people arrive on time, travel with less stress and feel ready to focus, connect and collaborate.
Our range of meeting rooms in Birmingham offers flexible options for events of all sizes, from intimate meetings for small groups through to larger conferences and events for up to 240 delegates. Planning something for 20 to 80 delegates? Our first-floor conference spaces are the perfect fit. The Writer’s Suite, Pevsner and the Composers’ Suite each offer flexible layouts that can be tailored to your plans, whether that’s a productive day meeting, an engaging corporate event or a private dinner.
Host greener meetings
If sustainability is a priority for your organisation, our Green Meetings package makes it easy to reduce the environmental impact of your event. As a B Corp-certified hotel, we offer low-carbon menus and responsibly sourced refreshments to help minimise waste.
