Fair hotels full?Motel for Messe Stuttgart

Prices

Why stay in Heimsheim for the fair?

• Fair prices instead of fair-week prices: when hotels near the fairground are fully booked or charge trade-fair rates, the motel on the A8 stays affordable.
• Straight to the fair on the A8: exit Heimsheim to exit Stuttgart-Flughafen/Messe, no city traffic.
• Free parking at the motel – at the fair you only pay day parking.
• Late arrival is no problem: self check-in with a room code, even after the evening at the fair.
• Without a car: bus to Leonberg and express bus X60 straight to the fair – about one hour.

Getting there: fair & airport

Messe Stuttgart and Stuttgart Airport are right next to each other on the A 8. From there you reach the Business-Motel without city traffic – ideal when hotels around the fairground and in Stuttgart are fully booked during major fairs.

By car: fair → Heimsheim approx. 40 km · 30–35 min

1. At junction Stuttgart-Flughafen/Messe take the A 8 towards Karlsruhe. You pass Stuttgart-Möhringen, the Stuttgart interchange (51), Leonberg-Ost (50), the Leonberg interchange (49), Leonberg-West (48) and Rutesheim (47) and take exit Heimsheim (46).
2. In the evening after the fair closes, traffic around the fair, the Stuttgart interchange and the Leonberg interchange is often heavy – allow 45–60 minutes. Alternative in case of congestion at the Leonberg interchange: exit Leonberg-Ost and drive via Leonberg and Rutesheim (L 1180) to Heimsheim.

By car: Heimsheim → fair in the morning

1. At junction Heimsheim (46) take the A 8 towards Stuttgart/Munich to junction Stuttgart-Flughafen/Messe, then follow the fair guidance system to the fair car parks (P20/P21 Bosch car park, P22/P23 ICS underground car park, P26/P30 West entrance; max. height 2.10 m).
2. Parking at the fair (2025 rates): 9-hour day rate €25, reduced to €14 at many fairs, evening rate €10. Between about 7 and 9 am there is often congestion at the Leonberg interchange – better leave early.

By bus and train approx. 1 hour

1. Express bus X60 from the airport/fair via Universität and Gerlingen to Leonberg (about 35 minutes; Mon–Fri 6 am–8 pm every 30 minutes, otherwise hourly, daily until midnight), then lines 652, 653 or 660 to Heimsheim (about 20 minutes, frequent Mon–Fri until about 8 pm).
2. Alternatively S2/S3 to Stuttgart main station and S6 to Leonberg or Rutesheim, then the bus – about 1.5 hours.
3. Late in the evening: taxi from the fair/airport about €90–110; for teams a rental car from the airport is often worthwhile.

Fairs when it gets busy

Rooms are especially in demand during, for example, the CMT holiday fair, Intergastra, LogiMAT, AMB, Motek, R+T and Blechexpo. You will find the current fair calendar at Messe Stuttgart – best book as soon as your fair dates are fixed.

Motel fully booked?

Is the motel fully booked on your fair days, or is your team staying longer? Our Boardinghouse Friolzheim, about 10 minutes away, rents furnished rooms for longer stays from €29 per night. Just ask for your dates.
