London Biggin Hill Airport has opened an on-site boutique hotel, The Landing.
The four-star, 56-room boutique hotel offers views across the airport, a small fitness suite, dedicated 66-seat lounge, and a bar-restaurant called The Approach. Its opening has supported over 50 new jobs for local people
The hotel has been built primarily for crew and engineers flying in and out of London Biggin Hill Airport, as well as to support local business in and around the airport site. The bar and restaurant are also open to the local community.
The hotel opened following an eight-figure funding package from HSBC UK, which also provided an additional seven-figure funding package for ongoing investment into the site, facilities, and operations as the airport transitions to a low carbon business.
London Biggin Hill currently has over 70 companies employing more than 1,400 people on the 500-acre airport site.
Nigel Masson, CFO at London Biggin Hill Airport, said: “We have been delighted with the success of The Landing, which opened its doors to visitors from across the globe earlier this year. A dedicated on-site hotel was the natural next step as more and more aerospace and tech innovators choose to call London Biggin Hill home. We’d like to thank HSBC UK for its support and look forward to welcoming everyone to The Landing Hotel soon.”
Ian Scott, corporate banking relationship director at HSBC UK, added: “Biggin Hill Airport continues to prove itself as one of the fastest growing business aviation airports in the UK. The addition of a hotel will be an asset to the local community, providing a range of employment opportunities across the hospitality sector. We look forward to seeing the continued success of the airport.”
