Gatwick Airport has two terminals, both of which are connected - via a covered pathway - to a hotel. The North Terminal is within a few minutes' walk of the impressive Sofitel, a towering luxury establishment overlooking the airport's runways, while the South Terminal has privileged access to the Hilton.
The North and South terminals are linked by an automated train, meaning that travellers arriving or departing from either terminal are still just a short distance from their chosen hotel. The two on-site hotels, the Sofitel and the Hilton, are conveniently signposted around Gatwick Airport.
Other hotels within a short distance include the Corner House (1.3 miles), Courtyard by Marriott (1.8 miles), the Moat House (1.3 miles), and the Ramada Plaza (2.8 miles).
There are only a handful of hotels near Gatwick Airport that do not have at least some facilities for business travellers and groups of delegates on-site: the two Travelodges, for example.

The hotels that stand out for their business-friendly facilities include the Sofitel, the Holiday Inn Express, and the Crowne Plaza. The Holiday Inn Express is notable for being within a short drive of the Gateway, a business park occupied by brands such as Virgin Atlantic, BT, TUI, and Initial.
