Best Hotels Near Luton Airport
Luton is one of the UK's busiest budget-airline hubs. The new Luton DART has reshaped what 'near the airport' means — the rail station is 4 minutes away — and the park-stay-fly market here is dense, competitive, and genuinely worth the maths.
Luton Airport at a glance
Single combined terminal. The Luton DART (a cable-pulled people-mover) connects Luton Airport Parkway station to the terminal in 4 minutes — no more shuttle-bus crawl up the hill.
Most early-flight travellers pick a hotel within DART range or on the airport perimeter. The shuttle market is well-developed and the bundles, especially for week-plus trips, are strong.
Hotels you can walk to from the terminal
- ibis Budget London Luton Airport5-minute walk to terminal
The only true walk-to-terminal hotel at LTN. Compact rooms, but you can't argue with 5 minutes wheels-to-bag-drop.
- Holiday Inn London Luton AirportShort walk + free shuttle alternative
More comfort than the ibis Budget, with a proper restaurant and IHG points. A short walk works in good weather; shuttle in bad.

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.
- Holiday Inn London Luton Airport (Park-stay-fly)Up to 15 days parking + 1 night + shuttle
Reliable IHG bundle. Frequently cheaper than two weeks of Mid Stay parking once the hotel night is included.
- Courtyard by Marriott (Park-stay-fly)Up to 8 days parking + 1 night + shuttle
Pricier per night, more comfortable. Worth it for week-long Mediterranean trips with multiple bags.
