Luxury Hotel To Land at London Biggin Hill Airport

Workers recently broke ground on the Landing, an on-site luxury boutique hotel at London’s Biggin Hill Airport. Much like the Aviator Hotel at nearby Farnborough Airport, it is expected to primarily serve crews that frequently fly in and out of the airport, as well as customers and employees of the numerous resident aerospace businesses based at Biggin Hill. With its completion slated for next year, it will offer 56 rooms with a bar, restaurant, lounge area, and gym.

“This development will play an important role within the airport’s ecosystem and is a fantastic addition to the many facilities and services we already offer,” said Robert Walters, the airport’s commercial director. ”Moreover, the hotel will support the community by providing further employment and training opportunities, as well as attracting new business investment to the region.”
