Thistle East Midland Airport Hotel
From wartime RAF base to major regional hub handling 5 million passengers a year – East Midlands Airport has come a long way in its brief lifetime. What’s really transformed its fortunes is the advent of the low-cost carriers, especially EasyJet and bmibaby. And for many of our guests, having us right on the airport’s doorstep means the difference between a desperate dawn run across the country, and a leisurely departure after a good night’s sleep.
With Derby, Leicester and Nottingham all within a 30-mile radius, Thistle East Midlands Airport is an ideal venue for business meetings. We have no fewer than 18 meeting rooms, the largest of which seats 220 theatre-style, making it easy to bring together individuals and groups from around the UK, and further a field.
But you don’t have to be leaving these shores, or getting down to business, to base yourself at Thistle East Midlands Airport. We’re handy for Alton Towers and, for music and motor sport fans, Donnington Park – or you can simply relax in our Otium Health & Leisure Club.
