Sofitel London Gatwick, Crawley

A flight from Gatwick - the only option for our recent holiday to Bermuda - meant we needed one night's accommodation near to the airport itself, to ensure we had no hold ups on the morning. As we would also need 12 nights parking I scoured the internet for inclusive stay and park deals. This was not really ever going to be a cheap stay because of the parking element. The Sofitel was certainly not the cheapest option but it is attached to North Terminal via a bridge and I felt it was worth paying a little extra for a little bit of indulgence and for the convenience.

I have made a few trips between the UK and my Bermuda base recently. On my most recent flying visit, I decided that rather than run the gauntlet of the M25 first thing on a Monday morning, I would book an airport hotel the night before and start the day at a more leisurely pace.

This hotel is connected directly to Gatwick's North Terminal - but it doesn't matter if you're flying from the South, the Gatwick monorail runs between the 2 buildings on average every 4 minutes (Free). I've stayed at this hotel around 5 times, and each time it gets better. You cannot fault the service you'll receive and the decor throughout is immaculate. I always choose to book their room & parking package. It allows you to park your car in ... more
