Directions

Hogarths Hotel Solihull

Hogaths: “Everyone deserves a spot of star treatment every now and again, and our luxury hotel is the perfect place to feel pampered. Nestled in 27 acres of woodland and countryside, we offer a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle… you wouldn’t believe we’re just 15 minutes from Birmingham Airport and the NEC!

A hotel with a true sense of occasion, it’s no wonder we’re a sought-after spot for weddings, conferences and events in the Midlands.”
