Holiday Inn - the niu, Mesh Stuttgart Messe by IHG
Streamlined rooms and a spa close to the airport corridor
About this hotel
The niu, Mesh keeps things modern and efficient: streamlined rooms, some with wet bars, in a property built for business travellers that works just as well for a family based near SchwabenQuellen. The spa tag means a sauna is on hand once the kids are done with the pools for the day, and the pet-friendly policy removes one more logistics headache for a dog-owning family who'd rather not leave the dog behind for the whole trip. It's an eight-minute taxi from Messe Stuttgart and a four-minute walk from Schelmenwasen, with SW34 Restaurant two minutes away for an easy dinner without planning a whole evening around it. The airport sits an eleven-minute taxi or thirty-minute public-transport ride away, workable either direction of a SchwabenQuellen stay, and the free Wi-Fi covers the evenings spent looking up the next day's plans.
- Streamlined modern rooms
- Sauna and spa area
- Pet-friendly throughout

Our take
Holiday Inn - the niu, Mesh is a contemporary hotel close to Messe Stuttgart and the airport, with streamlined rooms, some fitted with wet bars, a sauna and spa area, free Wi-Fi and a pet-friendly policy throughout. Guests rate it 8 from 1,234 reviews. I would book it for families combining SchwabenQuellen with a flight, who want a sauna after pool days and can bring the dog.
- ✓Book the spa-tagged room directly if a sauna after the water park matters to your evening plans.
- ✓Confirm whether breakfast is included, since it's listed as a paid add-on rather than bundled into the rate.
- ✓Ask about parking costs ahead of arrival, since it's a paid extra rather than included free with the room.
Why we love it
- A proper sauna for after the pool days
- A genuine pet-friendly policy for travelling dogs
- Wet bars fitted in some room types
- A short walk to SW34 Restaurant
Why guests love itFamilies choosing the niu, Mesh for a SchwabenQuellen stay tend to appreciate how little thought the logistics take once you've checked in: the sauna gives the adults somewhere quiet to sit after a full pool day, and the pet-friendly policy means the dog isn't left behind for the trip. The wet-bar rooms feel like a small step up from a standard airport-corridor double, and the short walk to SW34 Restaurant covers dinner without another decision to make on a tired evening.
