Hotels & sleep

A short rest or a full night near your flight. Choose the location before the room.

Sleeping at Gatwick

Terminals open 24/7, but this does not guarantee sleeping permission or overnight gate access. Ask staff where you may wait. For a bed, confirm a public-area hotel such as BLOC or YOTELAIR.

BLOC and YOTELAIR: South Terminal public area. Hampton and Sofitel: North Terminal. Confirm a room before travelling to it.
