About the Castle Hotel
Hilton East Midlands Airport - Gateway to the Midlands
Strategically positioned at a nexus of major motorways, the Hilton East Midlands Airport serves as a highly convenient hub for both business and leisure travellers. Its accessibility from the M1, A453, and A6 routes makes it a considered choice for those navigating the UK's central corridor.
Location
The hotel's placement offers straightforward access to the East Midlands Parkway Train Station, a mere three miles away, and is equidistant from Nottingham and Derby, approximately 10 kilometers distant. While it doesn't offer dramatic vistas, its proximity to key transport links and attractions such as Kegworth Village Association and Museum, and Donington Park Circuit, provides a practical base for exploration. For those seeking a transfer to-and-from the airport, this hotel is a dependable option.
Style and Character
The Hilton East Midlands Airport presents a modern and functional aesthetic. Its 'Whisk + Ladle' bar and kitchen embodies a contemporary, stylish décor, suggesting an environment designed for comfort and efficiency rather than ostentatious display. The hotel's character is one of pragmatic hospitality, catering to a transient clientele with dependable amenities and a clean, updated appearance.

The Living Well Health Club, featuring an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and whirlpool spa, provides ample opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation. For business travellers, a well-equipped business centre with 13 meeting rooms, capable of hosting up to 300 people, underscores its corporate appeal.
