Hilton Worldwide has opened a hotel at London Gatwick as part of its Hampton by Hilton brand.
The 192-room Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport North Terminal, which opened its doors yesterday, is located 40 yards from the check-in desks.
It features a boardroom that can seat up to 16 people and 24-hour gym and snack areas.
Phil Cordell, global head, focused service and Hampton brand management, said: "The introduction of Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport North Terminal marks a new milestone for Hampton by Hilton brand in the UK, as this property will be our first London airport hotel.
"The design and decor reflects the brand's values of comfort through the introduction of key public and private spaces, which create an overall welcoming guest experience."
Earlier this week, Hilton Worldwide opened its first Doubletree-branded hotel in Saudi Arabia (see news, January 15).
