Holiday Inn Express  Luton Airport
Holiday Inn Express Luton Airport

The Holiday Inn Express Luton Airport is a relatively new facility just a few years old offering functional, modern rooms.

The hotel is on the other side of the aircraft apron from the passenger terminal at Luton Airport, separated by a tunnel which goes underneath a taxiway. (We have a section below detailing the walk from hotel to and from the passenger terminals).

The only other true airport hotel, the Ibis Luton Airport is directly opposite the Holiday Inn Express Luton Airport.


If you are comparing hotels, it should be noted that the Holiday Inn Express room rate come with a complementary breakfast - most other airport hotels are room only.

Walking Between The Holiday inn Express & Luton Airport Terminal

The walk between the Luton Airport Terminal and the Holiday Inn Express Luton Airport is very straight forward. Even with luggage it should take no more than 10 minutes and the pavement is fairly smooth and what kerbs there are to be negotiated have slopes, so its pretty compatible with suitcases on wheels.


Look For The Waymarks Between Terminal and Hotels

Airport Terminal to Holiday Inn Express Luton Hotel.

Come out of the passenger terminals and walk over to the right hand side of the bus station. There will almost certainly be easyBus/Green Line buses to London parked. Go past the easyBus bus stops and continue to the roundabout. From here you should find waymarks to 'hotels'. Follow the exit road out of the airport through a short tunnel under the aircraft taxi way. On exiting the tunnel the Holiday Inn Express hotel is on the right hand side of the road at the top of the ramp.

Holiday Inn Express Luton To Airport Terminal

Walk around the Holiday Inn Express hotel onto the approach road into the airport, (there is a shot cut down some steps on the airport side of the hotel)..

You will now come to a public bus stop with a remarkably similar view to the image left.

Follow the pavement through the tunnel and up into the terminal complex. When you come to a roundabout follow the signs that direct you along the left hand side of the bus station immediately in front of the airport terminal.

Pass the easyBus/Green Line London buses and bus stop and you are at the airport terminal front door
