Airport hotel guide for early flights, overnight stopovers, and business trips at London Stansted Airport.

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport is the closest hotel to the terminal, joined to it by a 500-metre covered walkway: a five-minute walk from check-in desks to hotel reception without stepping outside. With 500 rooms and suites, several restaurants and bars, and the only hotel pool at Stansted, it is the airport’s full-service flagship, and its Grab & Go breakfast from 4:00 am is built for the airport’s famously early departures.
