Hotels near London Gatwick Airport
London Gatwick Airport sits south of Crawley, split between a North and South Terminal linked by a free shuttle. Hotels cluster along the terminal access roads and through Crawley and Horley, from three-minute walks to quieter addresses with free parking.
Hotels near London Gatwick Airport fall into three groups: terminal-adjacent properties a short walk or shuttle ride from check-in, Crawley business-park hotels a few minutes by taxi, and Horley and Southgate addresses further out with free parking and lower rates. The North and South Terminals are linked by a free monorail shuttle, so a hotel on either side still reaches both check-in halls in a few minutes. Families, business travellers on a Crawley schedule, and anyone with a dawn departure or a long layover will each find a different part of this list suits them better than the others.

Good to know
- ✓Book a terminal-adjacent hotel if your flight leaves before 7am to cut the pre-flight taxi out of the plan.
- ✓Check which terminal your airline uses before booking, then pick a hotel on that side to skip the shuttle transfer.
- ✓Crawley hotels usually cost less than terminal-adjacent ones and still reach check-in inside fifteen minutes by taxi.
- ✓Ask about park-and-fly rates if you are leaving the car for more than a couple of nights.
- ✓Horley and Southgate suit a longer pre-flight stay, with more restaurants within walking distance than the terminal hotels.
