The most popular hotels at the UK's smaller regional airports (based on sales through the www.airport-hotels-guide.co.uk website) for January 2006 were:
Aberdeen Airport: The Britannia Hotel Aberdeen Airport has been the most popular hotel for the last 13 months. There are other hotels at aberdeen airport, including the Holiday Inn Hotel Aberdeen Airport, Marriott Hotel Aberdeen Airport and the Thistle Hotel Aberdeen Airport, but people seem to prefer the Britannia.
Belfast Airport: The on airport Park Plaza Hotel Belfast Airport (formerly the Fitzwilliam) has held the top spot for the last 8 month. The Park Plaza is much more of an 'airport hotel' than the other choice, the Hilton Templepatrik Hotel Belfast. It is only 50 metres from the terminal, but the exceptional facilities at the Templepatrik (leisure facilities, a golf course and even it's own fishing) make this a popular choice, especially for leisure travellers.
Bristol Airport: as in the last 12 months, the Town and Country Hotel Bristol Airport, which is the closest hotel to the airport and offers a 'with free parking' package, continued to beat off competition from the Days Inn Hotel Bristol (which also offers 'free' airport parking) and the Jurys Inn Hotel Bristol (which doesn't). On a year to date basis the Town and Country Hotel Bristol Airport is top, followed by the Days Inn then the Jurys Inn.
Cardiff Airport: as in the last 12 months, the Days Inn Hotel Cardiff Airport remains the top, with the Airlodge Cardiff Airport, in second place.
East Midlands Airport: The Express Holiday Inn Hotel East Midlands Airport took top spot last April and has retained it ever since. As last month, March's top hotel, the 4 star Hilton Hotel East Midlands Airport was second with the Thistle Hotel East Midlands Airport, which had been top for the first two months of last year, third. The Kegworth Whitehouse Hotel East Midlands Airport was forth with the hotels in these same places on a year to date basis.
Edinburgh Airport: in January it was a two horse race for top spot between the on airport Hilton Hotel Edinburgh Airport and the almost on airport Quality Hotel Edinburgh Airport, with the Marriott Hotel Edinburgh Airport a close third. The Capital Hotel Edinburgh Airport, which is slightly further away, is a less popular forth. Year to date it is the Quality, followed by the Hilton and the Marriott.
Leeds Bradford Airport: the Holiday Inn Hotel Leeds Bradford, the only real choice for a hotel close to Leeds Bradford airport, was the most popular leeds bradford airport hotel for the 13th month running.
Liverpool Airport: as at a number of regional airports, there is only one hotel close to Liverpool Airport, the excellent Marriott South Hotel Liverpool Airport. Over the last few months APH have offered the Adephi Hotel Liverpool with parking, but we have yet to see significant bookings for this city centre hotel.
Newcastle Airport: the Britannia Hotel Newcastle Airport retained top spot from the Holiday Inn Hotel Newcastle Airport. The Novotel Newcastle Airport Hotel was third. On a year to date basis the Britannia leads from the Holiday Inn, then the Novotel.
Southampton Airport: the Holiday Inn Hotel Eastleigh is the most popular hotel for Southampton airport, because it is the closest to the airport. The other hotels offered for this airport are not as close - the Park Hotel Southampton, is near the centre of the city and doesn't offer a 'with airport parking' package and the Holiday Inn Hotel Fareham, is nearer to cruise ship port (and so better for cruise passengers).
