Travel & Accommodation

You can book your hotel with us at the same time as booking your tickets. Choose from the following hotels – availability is limited so you’ll need to be quick.

The Celtic Manor Resort – this award-winning resort is set in 2000 acres of parkland in the Usk Valley. You can stay in the 5-star hotel or the historic 19th-century Manor House. There is the award-winning Forum Spa, as well as 5 restaurants and 3 championship golf courses.

Coldra Court – Only five minutes from the Celtic Manor Resort, Coldra Court Hotel features comfortable bedrooms, a Southern-inspired smokehouse restaurant, health club, pool and gym.

Ty Newport – Opposite the Coldra Court, with stylish rooms and excellent facilities, there is a Mediterranean themed kitchen and bar, an on-site Costa Coffee and complimentary parking.

Ty Magor – 5 miles from the ICC, and featuring comfortable rooms and easy check-in, complimentary overnight parking, good WiFi, and great coffee, T? Magor has just what you need, and nothing you don’t.

There’s plenty more if none of these take your fancy; why not check out what Booking.com has in the area?

Confirmed speakers can book accommodation through SQLBits and will be sent full details after selection. The speaker hotel options are either the Celtic Manor Resort or Coldra Court, detailed above. If you have submitted to speak and are waiting to hear if you’ve been selected, but also want to book your accommodation, we strongly suggest booking a room with flexible terms. This is because we only host speakers in one of our two speaker hotels, and will not be able to cover the cost of accommodation at any other hotel. For more information visit the Speak page.
