Family Friendly Hotels in Crawley

For many, a visit to Crawley is defined by its immediate proximity to Gatwick Airport, making it a supremely practical base for early flights or a stopover. Yet the town itself, a major part of Sussex since the post-war New Town expansion, has its own character. You can explore the historic core around the 13th-century St. John the Baptist Church on the High Street, or take a short trip to the surrounding countryside of Tilgate Park, with its large lake, forest trails, and a nature centre.

Staying in central Crawley puts shops and local restaurants within easy reach, while hotels clustered directly around the North and South Terminals offer the ultimate in convenience for air travellers. This setup suits business visitors, transit passengers, and families alike, thanks to the excellent transport web. The M23 motorway provides quick road access to London and the south coast, and the frequent train service from Crawley station gets you to London Victoria in under 40 minutes.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find a focused selection of seven hotels that cater directly to this transit-heavy demand. The options are dominated by reliable, modern chain hotels, ranging from efficient budget choices to full-service airport properties with soundproofed rooms. A couple of traditional inns in the town centre offer a more local alternative to the airport’s functional stays.
