Thistle near East Midlands Airport

You could shoot an arrow from the airport to the Thistle, it's that close. At just a five-minute walk, the hotel is the closest to East Midlands airport, but it doesn't scrimp on the luxury. You'll find comfortable, spacious rooms and a spa with a pool, steam room, sauna and gym. The main draw, however, is the fantastic Sherwood restaurant which serves AA rosette-winning cuisine. For luxury, elegant dining and simple convenience, the Thistle hits the target.
