Book East Midlands hotel + parking direct

Hotels you can walk to from the terminal

• Hilton East Midlands Airport5-min walk across roundabout • opposite terminal

  Closest hotel to the gate. Quiet rooms on the back side (ask for terminal-facing if you want plane-spotting). Hilton Honors, indoor pool, the best breakfast of any EMA hotel.

• Holiday Inn Express East Midlands Airport8-min walk via lit footpath • on Pegasus Park

  IHG points, free breakfast included, and consistently £30–40 cheaper than the Hilton. The walk is short but exposed — bring a coat in winter.

Hotels with free shuttle buses to East Midlands

• Premier Inn East Midlands AirportFree shuttle every 20 min • 4-min ride

  Default budget pick. Beefeater attached, Premier Inn standard sleep, shuttle runs from 04:00 — perfect for the 06:00 Ryanair to Alicante.

• Crowne Plaza Nottingham Derby East Midlands AirportFree shuttle • 5-min ride

  Largest 4-star at EMA. Better business facilities than the Hilton, often cheaper rate, IHG points, and a heated indoor pool.

• Best Western Premier Yew Lodge HotelShuttle for guests • 7-min ride

  Set in landscaped grounds in Kegworth — quieter than anything on Pegasus Park. Worth it if you're stopping over with kids.

Park-stay-fly: cheaper than a week's airport parking

The Park, Sleep & Fly package: check in the night before, leave your car for the duration, take the shuttle in. For longer holidays it often beats on-airport parking alone.

• Hilton Park, Sleep & FlyUp to 15 days parking + 1 night + walk-to-terminal

  From £119 total. No shuttle needed at all — saves 30 minutes of faff on the morning of your flight.

• Premier Inn Park & StayUp to 8 days parking + 1 night + shuttle

  From £79. The cheapest bundle at EMA, and almost always cheaper than Long Stay parking + a separate hotel.
