Gatwick Hotel and parking
Discussion
Hi, I'm travelling from Gatwick (North) a week on Tuesday and am trying to find where the best place is to stay.
Ideally I'd like to stay overnight Monday and then leave the car at the hotel whilst we're away on our honeymoon. As it's a bit of a special trip, low cost isn't my primary concern...more a decent hotel and as near as possible the airport to cut down in transfer times.
Therefore, somewhere that does a decent dinner would be a bonus. I think there are hotels attached to both terminals, are they any good, and worth the extra cost?
Thanks for any help and advice

Highly recommend the Sofitel, stayed there New Years Eve for a flight following day.Good rooms,staff and food,if you're that way inclined ask for a runway view.A 2 minute walk undercover and you're in the terminal. We booked direct,not through Sofitel website but the hotel itself as they have varying special offers from time to time.

The hotel that is connected to Gatwick by a pedestrian tunnel. Book in the night before, take the car to the parking place and book your luggage in the night before. Get up the next morning and walk across just before the flight. Sublime.
Yep see above, that's the Sofitel.Cheers for the help and advice.
I've booked the Gatwick Sofitel Hotel. Doubt it was the cheapest, but as mentioned earlier it's for the honeymoon, so wanted something nice and also convenient. I booked direct with the hotel who (in case anyones interested) do park and fly deals, or dinner bed and breakfast deals, but not everything together.
It was only an extra fiver to do the valet park option (apparently their other car park is only 5 mins or so away) but after an 11 hour flight on the way back and then a 200 mile drive home, having the car waiting at the terminal is worth the extra few quid.

Good old PH, I came on to ask about hotels with parking at Gatwick and find the thread is already active.
In addition to the recommendations above, has anyone tried the Sandman Signature hotel at Gatwick as they seem to have some good deals with parking?
