 London Airport Hotels
 Whether you're stopping over, planning a conference, in town on business or simply have a very early flight and want to be well prepared, London has a huge selection of excellent, functional hotels near its main airports. Here we look at some of the most popular hotels within touching distance of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City Airport.
  Thistle London Heathrow
 Bath Road, Longford, West Drayton, London, UB70EQ Within easy reach of central London and just 10 minutes from the airport, the Thistle London Heathrow is accommodating for both business and leisure guests and offers excellent and modern facilities, including superb conference and event facilities. The views over the northern runway are pretty impressive - especially of the spectacular new Terminal 5 building. The hotel's adjacent Leisure Club is free of charge and ideal to relax in, after a tiring journey. There is also on-site parking for up to 600 cars at considerably cheaper rates than at the airport. Superb transport links means you can get to top attractions in and around London, such as Windsor Castle, Kew Gardens and Wembley Stadium. The Thistle London Heathrow has 264 bedrooms including 41 newly refurbished deluxe rooms.

Eastern Perimeter Road, Hatton Cross, TW62SR This modern three-star hotel with 364 rooms is in an ideal location for those simply passing through or looking for a base from which to visit central London or top sights near the capital. With excellent transport connections, the hotel is just a few minutes from the Heathrow terminals (reached by the free H9 Hotel Hoppa bus service) whilst Hatton Cross Tube station, from where you can catch a Piccadilly Line train right into the West End in under 45 minutes, is just across the road. Spacious and modern accommodation suits the needs of business guests or holidaymakers alike. The jury's not out on this one because it ticks all the boxes.

South Terminal Gatwick Airport, Crawley, RH6 0LL Short of camping out on the runway at Gatwick, this hotel is the nearest you’ll get to the airport without losing sleep! The Hilton has a covered walkway that takes you straight into the South Terminal, and it’s just a few minutes away from the North, making this hotel an ideal choice for an early morning start or a quick getaway. Family and interconnecting rooms also provide an easy solution to getting your brood up-and-out in time for your flight, even if they’ve overloaded on the on-demand movies the night before. Business travellers will find everything they need under one roof with self-contained conference facilities and internet access in every room, while for those who just want to unwind, the restaurants (one with a children’s menu), bars and gym are at your disposal.

Copthorne Way, Copthorne, West Sussex, RH10 3PG Even though it’s just minutes from Gatwick Airport and the M23 to Brighton, the Copthorne, by setting itself in 100 acres of woodlands and gardens, has done its utmost to give guests that feeling of escape. Basically a country house hotel with mod cons, at its heart is a 16th century farmhouse with a warm, wooden beamed interior, but the well-appointed rooms and business facilities bring it right into the 21st century – the best of both worlds. If you’re still feeling a little frazzled from your flight, spend a few hours in the leisure club with its 16 metre pool, steam room and Jacuzzi, or book in for a beauty treatment for that extra bit of pampering. Rooms are bright and comfortable, and there are three dining options including traditional English pub, the White Swan.

Round Coppice Road, Stansted airport, CM24 1SF If you’re flying in or out of London Stansted, this is a convenient and modern place to stay. From the Hilton, you can catch the airport shuttle bus, which takes six minutes to the terminal, and the bright lights of central London are only half an hour away by train. Take a swim in the indoor pool, relax in the sauna and steam room and finish it all off with a drink in the bar. For families with little ones, the hotel caters for their needs with a kids’ pool and children’s menu as well as spacious family rooms. If it’s a business engagement that you’re flying into town for, 16 meeting rooms provide space for all kinds of events from one-on-ones to 250-strong conferences; all backed up by wireless internet access and efficient service.

Thremhall Avenue, Stansted, CM24 1PY There would be no need for a last-minute dash across the concourse to check-in if you were staying at this hotel; the Express by Holiday Inn is a mere two minutes by bus to the terminal at Stansted Airport. And it’s also well-located if you want a fast connection via the Stansted Express into London Liverpool Street. When searching the budget hotel market, a few extras, such as high speed internet in all rooms and a plasma TV screen in the bar, make this a cut above the rest. Power showers are also a big plus, especially if you need reviving for that early morning flight! The 254 rooms have all the amenities you’d expect – air con, in-room movies, tea and coffee – and continental breakfast and evening meals are served in the Great Room.

Percival Way 2 Luton, London, LU2 9GP While the Holiday Inn Express name indicates that this is a budget hotel, you'll find little to complain about in this compact purpose-built three-star hotel. The rooms might be a little tightly-packed for your liking, but (despite the name) this isn't exactly a holiday destination and the place serves a purpose. Located under a mile from Luton Airport, the hotel offers a free shuttle bus service (although many people with little luggage opt to walk the short distance). The main draw is, of course, its proximity to the airport and the hotel is ideal for those who have an early flight but don't fancy getting a taxi from central London at 3am. This is a clean, modern and convenient formula which works well. There's a restaurant, wireless access and a cheap car park, while all rooms have triple glazing so you won't be kept up at night with the sound of roaring planes.

Spittlesea Road, Luton, LU2 9NZ The second of two hotels located on the Luton Airport site, this functional 162-room Ibis is located opposite the Express by Holiday Inn and is just 600m from the airport terminal. The hotel also has five meeting rooms, a restaurant, a bar with a terrace offering light meals and snacks 24 hours, 7 days and private outdoor parking at a fee of £3 per resident. Wireless Internet access for business guests. Like the Express by Holiday Inn, the Ibis has significantly lower room rates at the weekends than midweek. Trains from nearby Luton take you into London King's Cross in half an hour and there's a shuttle service to the airport. You'll be hard pressed to find a cheaper option than the Ibis, which is a perfect place for a stop-over.
