Mercure Hotel Gatwick Airport

Accors's Mercure London Gatwick Hotel (formerly the Renaissance) is located just 5 minutes from Gatwick Airport, by the hotel's shuttle bus, 7 or 8 minutes from junction 9 of the M23 and also benefits from being mid-way between Brighton and London. Parking is on-site (when booked through Gatwick Reservations). Lingfield Park is nearby for aficionados of racing or golf and Chessington World of Adventure for families.

The 254 stylish rooms on 5 floors are all air-conditioned with 24-hour room service, satellite TV and pay-per-view movies, internet, voicemail, mini bar and ensuite bathroom. Cribs are available for families with children and for business people rooms offer working desks. Some of the more deluxe rooms come with a lounge area. Internet is available in all bedrooms, public areas and meeting rooms.

15 specially equipped rooms and a business centre are on offer for business meetings and conferences and some of the extra services include copying and faxing, messenger, post and parcel service, secretarial service and translation facilities. You can get your currency exchanged, newspapers delivered and laundry/dry cleaning done and store your valuables at the front desk. Catering is available for business or social functions and the hotel is licensed for weddings, with a special team of event planners on hand.

Other facilities include wheelchairs for disabled use, vending machines, beauty shop and barbeque area and if you feel like relaxing there is a Jacuzzi and a whirlpool (the swimming pool is closed as of 6 October 2008 until further notice.) A health club/fitness centre with weights, spa and squash court offers classes and training if you want to give yourself a boost. And then, after you've worked up that appetite, the Hotel has an Italian bistro, a steakhouse and a bar, between them serving meals and snacks all day.

Gatwick Reservations offer all types of rooms and parking deals. Be sure to check out our very latest, best available rates.

Parking at the Mercure is located on-site at the hotel when you book a room and parking package through Gatwick Reservations. Simply arrive at the hotel, park your car and then take one of the regular shuttle buses to the terminal buildings. On your return just take a shuttle bus back to the hotel, from the terminal at which you arrive, to collect your car.

Do you need more than 15 days parking or perhaps between 8 and 15 days parking? Extra days parking are available and are charged at a daily rate (£10.00). However, it could work out cheaper to book 15 days parking even if you only require e.g. 10 or 11 days in total. Find out how to book extra days parking in the FAQs section.
