Nestled in the beautiful Midlands area of England, Birmingham International Airport is just five miles from the historic city centre. Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure; staying in the Birmingham area or just passing through on another flight, a quick stop in the Visitor Centre, located right beside Arrivals, will provide not only information on local and regional events and attractions, but booking services for lodgings, ground transportation or even continued flights.

As befits an airport that services over nine million travellers a year, there are a number of quality three and four-star hotels located from on-site to under a mile distant.
