 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 hotel to Luton 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.
Distance from Airport
The hotel is 0.2 miles from the airport.
Transfers
The airport shuttle bus provides transfers from 5am to 11pm. Transfers run every 10 to 15 minutes and take about three minutes. The cost is £1 per passenger.
The bus leaves from the bus stop close to the hotel. For a transfer from the airport, you should go to the hotel bus pick-up point outside the terminal. Please note that you will have to climb some steps or an incline to get to the hotel from the bus stop.
