50 jobs created as new Humberside Airport hotel opens

A new £8m Hampton By Hilton hotel at Humberside Airport officially opened on 18th July, creating 50 new jobs.

Just a three minute walk from the terminal building, the hotel is operated under franchise from Hampton and managed by Leaf Hospitality.

The new hotel has 100 guest rooms, a business and 24-hour fitness centre, and two meeting rooms capable of accommodating up to 50 people.

As well as serving guests about to go on their holidays, the hotel will also be working with several oil, gas and wind power companies whose workforce will stay there before travelling to the continent or the Humber estuary.

The hotel has taken just over eighteen months to build.

Sam Teale, the general manager of the Hampton by Hilton Humberside Airport hotel, said: “With the offer of meeting space, we hope that corporate clients and community groups from the surrounding villages will make full use of the facilities. Our doors will be open to non-residents looking for somewhere to enjoy a chat and a coffee or stage a meeting away from their office.

“We also expect our guests to be jetting off to holiday destinations from Humberside Airport or visiting one of the many renewables companies that are based in the region.

“Irrespective of whether they’re renewables workers, holiday makers or locals, they will also receive the same warm welcome as we introduce people to what Hampton call, the ‘Hamptionality’ experience.

“It’s a term which is used to describe our approach to friendly customer service, anticipating our guests’ needs and providing travellers with helpful suggestions about area attractions, historical facts and fun things to do nearby.”
