DoubleTree by Hilton Coventry Building Society Arena
A short walk from the arena and the park
About this hotel
DoubleTree by Hilton sits inside the Coventry Building Society Arena complex, a short walk from the stadium itself and closer to The Wave than most of the city's other pet-friendly options. Families combining a slides day with an evening event at the arena find this the most practical base on the list, cutting travel between the two down to a walk rather than a drive. The brasserie and gym give the trip a slightly more polished edge than the ring-road budget chains further out, and the pet-friendly policy means a dog doesn't have to stay behind. Rooms are streamlined and modern, with air conditioning, room service and full-service laundry covering a multi-night family stay.

Our take
This suits families wanting the shortest realistic walk to both The Wave and the CBS Arena, particularly if the trip includes an event on top of the waterpark days. It sits at the pricier end of this list, so budget-focused families should weigh the location against the ring-road alternatives before booking.
- ✓Book early if your trip coincides with an arena event, since rooms here sell out fastest on event dates.
- ✓Confirm the pet policy and any fee directly with the hotel before bringing a dog along.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the arena side if you want a quieter night on an event evening.

Why guests love itWe booked this one because our trip lined up with an evening event at the arena, and being able to walk straight there after a day at The Wave without needing the car again was exactly what we needed with tired kids in tow. The brasserie covered dinner easily, and bringing our dog along wasn't the ordeal we expected. It's a step up in price from the budget chains, but the location justified it for us.
