Hilton East Midlands Airport Hotel

Book

The 4* Hilton East Midlands Airport Hotel sits beside East Midlands Airport and around a 25–30 minute drive from the AoC Sport National Championships start and finish areas in Nottingham, offering a practical, stress-free stay for endurance athletes.

Arriving here feels easy and unhurried. The exterior is modern and low-key, and inside you’ll find a spacious lobby with comfortable seating and quiet corners to relax. Communal areas are designed for downtime rather than display, making it a good place to settle in, stretch out and mentally switch off after travel or training.

Your stay is on a bed and breakfast basis, with a well-balanced morning spread that suits early starts and pre-race routines. There is an option to upgrade your room to half board where your evening meal will be served at the University Of Nottingham.  Expect familiar, dependable options that work for fuelling rather than indulgence, plus an on-site restaurant and bar for simple evening meals when you want to keep things close and uncomplicated.

The hotel’s LivingWell Health Club is well suited to endurance athletes looking to maintain routine and support recovery. There’s a fully equipped gym for light sessions or mobility work, alongside an indoor swimming pool ideal for low-impact loosening up. Sauna and steam rooms help with muscle relaxation after travel or long days on your feet. Opening hours are practical, making it easy to fit sessions around race schedules. While outdoor space is limited, the overall setup works well for staying active without overdoing it, keeping recovery simple and controlled.

Rooms here are quiet, well-sized and designed for proper rest. Comfortable beds, blackout curtains and soundproofing help support quality sleep, while modern bathrooms with good showers make post-training recovery easy. Everything is set up to help you wind down and wake up ready.
