On-airport hotels: These are within the airport grounds, so your journey to the terminal in the morning should be very quick. We have two on-airport hotels at Luton: the Ibis Luton and the Holiday Inn Express Luton Airport. The latter is the closest hotel to the terminal - it's just half a mile away, or three minutes on the shuttle bus. It's got great views of the runway - and don't worry, it's got excellent soundproofing too.
Off-airport hotels: These are outside the airport grounds, so tend to be less expensive than on-airport hotels. But they're still very close by - all but one of our off-airport hotels at Luton are within 10 miles of the terminal. Our most popular is the Hilton Garden Inn Luton North, which is designed to combine Hilton luxury with a bargain price. It's just over three miles from the airport and has a restaurant, a fitness room and a 24-hour business centre.
Luton airport hotels with parking: If you need airport parking while you're away, kill two birds with one stone and book a great-value hotel-with-parking package. This can turn out to be barely more expensive, or even cheaper, than booking parking alone. All our Luton airport hotels offer room-with-parking packages, with parking at our fully secured Airparks car park just over four miles from the terminal. The Hilton Garden Inn Luton North and the Ramada Luton also offer you the option of parking at the hotel while you are away.
Room-only bookings: These are bookings which do not include airport parking. Did you know that if you're not taking your car to the airport, we can save you money on your travel there and back? We can arrange discounted rail or coach travel to and from the airport for you and your whole family - if you're going by train, up to two children under 16 can travel free. For details see our Luton airport by rail and Luton airport by coach pages.
Top tip: Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances mean your holiday plans have to be changed or cancelled - and if that happens, you want to know that at least you won't lose your money. We always advise adding our cancellation waiver when you book your Luton airport hotel. It costs just £2.49, and means that if you need to cancel your booking, you'll get a full refund, as long as you don't cancel less than 24 hours before the date of your stay.
Your Luton airport hotel will provide you with a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed ... but it can give you so much more than that. Our upgrades give you the chance to make your stay even more pleasurable - and often save money at the same time.
Celebrating a special occasion? Have a bottle of champagne waiting for you in your room at the Chiltern Hotel Luton or the Days Hotel Luton - where Holiday Extras customers can also upgrade to an executive room for free if one is available.
If you've booked a package which includes parking at Airparks Luton, why not let us clean your car inside and out while you're away? Or escape the stress of the airport terminal by booking yourself into the Aviance Lounge for up to three hours of free drinks, free snacks and peace and quiet before your flight.

We had a meal at the hotel which was good. The room was very good. The transfer was as requested to Luton airport - and very polite. On returning from holiday we phoned to request a transfer and it arrived within 5 minutes. Again excellent. All in all an excellent start and finish to our holiday.

Luton Hemel Central Express by Holiday Inn
What a bargain! Amazed to get the hotel and car park for virtually the same price as just the car park! So, we splashed out and got the car delivered to the airport, so was nice and warm and we got home about half-hour earlier than expected. Thanks, ByronMr Jenkins 27 Nov, 2009
Hilton Garden Inn
The hotel was lovely, the taxi service to and from the airport was good and our car was well looked after for the week. We cannot fault the service we had. Thank you!Mrs Powell 31 Oct, 2009
Can I book parking at Luton for fewer than eight days?
Eight days is the minimum parking package at all our Luton airport hotels, so you can park for fewer than eight days, but you will be charged for eight. If you wish to park for fewer than eight days, it might be cheaper to book a room only, and book parking separately at one of our Luton airport car parks, where you can book parking for any length of time, even one day.
Can I book a Luton airport hotel at short notice?
Yes, we usually have rooms available even at less than 24 hours' notice. However, we always advise booking as far in advance as you can, as you're likely to get a better price and have more hotels to choose from.Can I park my car at my hotel while I am on holiday and stay there at the end of my trip, not the start, as I have a late flight back?
Yes, you can do this at most of our Luton airport hotels. We can't make this kind of booking on our website, but our friendly call centre can do it for you - give them a ring on 0800 093 5478.
If I need to cancel my holiday, can I cancel my Luton airport hotel stay?
No problem - we'll give you all your money back as long as you've paid for our cancellation waiver, which costs just £2.49. You can add it when you book - we always recommend doing so for peace of mind. However, if you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, you won't be able to get a refund even if you've taken out the cancellation waiver.
