Find stays near Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on the map ↓Motorpoint Arena Nottingham places a major evening event on the edge of the Lace Market, making an overnight city visit a natural fit. High Pavement offers historic streets and dinner near the arena side of the centre. Standard Hill gives a different hotel setting by the castle area, with a city crossing before and after the show. Staying an extra morning leaves room for Nottingham’s history rather than only its stage.
FIND YOUR BASE
High Pavement and the Lace Market give the stay historic streets, restaurants and the arena-side part of the city centre.
Good for: An event-led stay with a local evening.
Before you choose: Check the precise entrance and walking route; a Lace Market room does not remove security queues.
Standard Hill and Park Row offer a castle-side hotel setting, with time to enjoy the room and nearby city streets.
Good for: A two-night visit with a different daytime district.
Before you choose: This is west of the arena and involves a cross-centre journey; allow for hills and your access needs.

A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Start among the Lace Market streets, spend the evening at the arena, and return to High Pavement for Nottingham’s history.
Leave luggage by arrangement and enjoy a meal around High Pavement before the arena day.
Follow the event’s access instructions to Bolero Square or the specified entrance, keeping the performance as the main evening activity.
Return to High Pavement for the museum’s current visitor programme on the other day, leaving time for luggage collection and the train home.
Less time? For one night with an early train, retain the Lace Market meal and arena; omit the museum extension.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
The venue identifies Lace Market as the nearby tram stop, with onward walking to the arena. Use NET’s current service information for the return rather than assuming every event finishes before the last tram.
The arena describes flat-floor access through Bolero Square and a lift from Lower Parliament Street. Some events use a different arrangement, so confirm the entrance for the actual booking with the access team.
No. The published security policy admits only small bags within its stated dimensions and says larger items cannot be stored; there are no lockers. Arrange storage before arriving at Bolero Square.
The venue says the council-operated Dean Street spaces are first come, first served and cannot be booked in advance. Plan an alternative with the current local parking information.
The venue scans tickets and searches belongings and visitors on arrival. If a medical condition affects a security check, speak to staff as you approach and contact the venue beforehand about necessary medical items.
