Transfers to Gatwick Airport

PLEASE NOTE: The Inter-Terminal Transit System (Monorail) has closed to passengers, as well as the covered walkway into the terminal. A new track will reopen on the 28th April 2010, and a second in July 2010. The Sofitel will be running their own replacement transfer service to help reduce the inconvenience for guests. The coach service will leave from the hotel and travel directly to the South Terminal between 04.00 and 10.00 in the morning and 16.00 and 22.00 in the evening. This service has limited spaces, but can be booked in advance with the hotel concierge. There is a charge of £2.00 per guest, per journey.

The Sofitel Gatwick is connected to Gatwick's North Terminal by a covered walkway allowing easy access in a couple of minutes.

If you're leaving from the South Terminal, you can take the free 24-hour monorail service that runs every 3 minutes and takes around 2 minutes.

Parking Arrangements

It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that the vehicle is roadworthy, holds a valid MOT certificate and displays a valid road tax licence. The car park will not accept your vehicle if these requirements are not met.

Parking packages include parking at Gatwick Summer Special Car Park, or a secured compound near the hotel. There is also a Meet and Greet option with parking provided by Maple Manor.

Summer Special package: Upon arrival, park outside the hotel, unload your luggage and report to reception for check-in. Then drive to the car park and use the parking e-voucher attached to your booking confirmation to redeem your parking at the Summer Special secure compound. If you do not have a voucher, please advise the hotel reception at check-in and they will provide one. After you have parked, the car park will provide a return transfer to the North Terminal.

Secure compound near hotel: On arrival at the hotel, please hand in your keys to reception. You will be asked to complete paperwork providing your return flight details. Your vehicle will be stored for a maximum of four hours at the hotel, then moved to a secured compound nearby. Your vehicle will be delivered to the airport terminal upon your return.
