Gatwick Airport Hotels
Whether you need somewhere to rest your head after a long flight or don’t fancy an extra early wake-up call before a drive to the airport, checking in to an airport hotel may be just the answer. With plenty of options both on and off-site at both terminals, you can add a bit of luxury to your trip. Don’t need to stay? Airport hotels also offer the perfect setting for business meetings and conferences due to their central location; perfect if you have international clients! Take a look below to find the best hotel suited to your needs.
Gatwick Airport Hotels at North & South Terminals
Gatwick Airport has two terminals, both of which are connected – via a covered pathway – to a hotel. The North Terminal is within a few minutes’ walk of the impressive Sofitel, a towering luxury establishment overlooking the airport’s runways, while the South Terminal has privileged access to the Hilton.
The North and South terminals are linked by a state-of-the-art monorail service, meaning that travellers arriving or departing from either terminal are still just a short distance from their chosen hotel. The two on-site hotels, the Sofitel and the Hilton, are conveniently signposted around Gatwick Airport.
Other hotels within a short distance include the Corner House (1.3 miles), Courtyard by Marriott (1.8 miles), the Moat House (1.3 miles), and the Ramada Plaza (2.8 miles).
Business Travellers
There are only a handful of hotels near Gatwick Airport that do not have at least some facilities for business travellers and groups of delegates on-site: the two Travelodges, for example. Services range from the provision of private meeting rooms to fully-featured conference centres, offering projectors, refreshments on-demand, and copy/fax machines.
The hotels most notable for their sympathies to the business world are the Sofitel, the Crowne Plaza, the Holiday Inn Express, and the Crowne Plaza. The Holiday Inn Express is notable for being within a short drive of the Gateway, a business park occupied by brands such as Virgin Atlantic, BT, TUI, and Initial.
Airport hotels are a unique draw for businessmen and women, as their services can help limit the disruption caused to normal operations by mid-week travel.
Airport shuttle services
The hotels within the airport grounds can be easily reached either on foot via a covered walkway or on the free monorail that passes between the two terminals. For any hotels outside of the grounds, check below to see if they offer a shuttle service.

The Hilton at Gatwick is connected to the South Terminal of the airport by a short, covered walkway, making the hotel one of the most convenient in the local area. Featuring sound-proofed rooms as standard, armchairs with ottoman seat, spa baths, and walk-in showers.
