East Midlands airport hotels: the choices

East Midlands Hilton

Flying with the family? A great selection of family rooms at the Thistle East Midlands ensures there are no problems when travelling with children. Facilities including a swimming pool will ensure they are free from boredom, allowing you to benefit from the relaxing ambience of such a beautifully furnished hotel. And, with the Thistle East Midlands located right next to the airport, the short trip to departures on the day flying surely makes a stay overnight worthwhile?

Relax in luxury. If a luxurious stay is what you're after, the Premier Yew Lodge is the perfect choice. On arrival you will be charmed by the sophisticated look of the hotel that extends to its beautifully furnished rooms. A large swimming pool and jacuzzi are the perfect places to unwind the night before your flight, while the fine range of food and drink on offer in the hotel's restaurant ensures an evening of complete relaxation before your next getaway.

On a budget? If you're looking for a great value stay, the Express by Holiday Inn will prove ideal. Its convenient location close to East Midlands airport ensures a hassle-free start to the day of your flight, while those checking in early may choose to explore local attractions such as nearby Alton Towers. A fine selection of food is served in that hotel's contemporary restaurant, while all rooms feature facilities such as a private shower room, hairdryer, satellite television, radio, telephone and tea/coffee-making facilities.

Top tip: Book early to secure our best prices. In general, the earlier you book, the lower the price will be. Plus, you're likely to have a wider range of hotels to choose from. And as long as you add our cancellation waiver for just £2.49, you can cancel up to 24 hours before you travel and receive a full refund.

On-airport hotel

East Midlands hotels: the options

On-airport hotels: On-airport hotels offer the most convenient accommodation possible at the airport. They are usually within walking distance and, in some cases, actually connected to the terminal building. If you book an on-airport hotel, such as the Thistle East Midlands, you can be sure that getting to the hotel will be fast and simple.

Off-airport hotels: Off-airport hotels are usually cheaper than on-airport properties and East Midlands airport has a great selection to choose from. Two of our most popular off-airport hotels are the Best Western Premier Yew Lodge and the Express by Holiday Inn.

Off-site parking

East Midlands hotels with parking: Should you so wish, you can include car parking with your hotel stay and choose to park at the hotel for the duration of your holiday. Such deals are available at the Thistle East Midlands, Best Western Premier Yew Lodge and the Express by Holiday Inn. If you book your airport parking in conjunction with your airport hotel stay it can often work out cheaper than parking alone. Just another way Holiday Extras helps you save money.

Room-only bookings: We know that not everyone drives to the airport. If you're one such traveller, you will be delighted to learn that hotel rooms without parking are also available. These are a great idea if you have booked rail or coach travel to the airport with Holiday Extras.


Top tip: Why not read our customer feedback before booking? This pays testament to the high quality service and accommodation provided by Holiday Extras. We're extremely proud to say that 99.88% of our customers are happy with our service. We're working on the other 0.12%.

East Midlands hotel upgrades

East Midlands airport lounge

Once you have chosen the hotel that is right for you, you will be given the opportunity to add a number of upgrades to your booking. For example, why not save yourself some money with a delicious three-course meal at the Thistle East Midlands or the Premier Yew Lodge? Booking yourself a meal in advance also means that there is no need to travel around to find a restaurant the night before you fly.

You may also choose to book an airport lounge along with your hotel booking to make the start of your holiday even more relaxing. This option is available when booking the Thistle East Midlands, Premier Yew Lodge, Hilton East Midlands and Express by Holiday Inn. An airport lounge allows you to escape the hassle of the crowds in the terminal and will change your view of the airport experience. Airport lounges always prove popular with our customers. If you have tried it once, it is very difficult to imagine flying any other way.

Top tip: If you are concerned that you may need to cancel or change your booking, we would strongly advise supplementing your hotel booking with our cancellation cover. As you go through the booking process you will see the option to select this. Cancellation protection ensures a refund in full if you cancel up to 24 hours before your stay.
