Holiday Inn Express

The line of planes behind the fence as you walk to the entrance reminds you that the Holiday Inn Express isn't just the closest of our Luton airport hotels to the airport, it's closer than close. This three-star hotel is within the airport grounds, less than half a mile on the shuttle bus from the terminal - where you're probably further away from the planes than you are in the hotel. Sit back in your air-conditioned room and enjoy the great views of the runway - but, thanks to the triple glazing, none of the sounds.

Roadworks will be causing delays at the M1, junction 10 regularly throughout 2014, so we suggest you allow extra time for your journey to Luton airport. Visit the Luton Council website for more information.

Directions to Hotel

Leave the M1 at junction 10 and take the A1081 Airport Way.
At the first roundabout go straight on.
At the second roundabout take the second exit onto Percival Way. The hotel is on your right.
