Airport hotel set for major upgrade

A hotel is preparing to expand and upgrade its facilities following recent planning approval.

KE Hotels has secured permission to add 89 rooms to the Holiday Inn Luton Airport, nearly doubling its capacity from 124 to 213. 

The project includes a multi-storey rear extension and a modernised exterior. 

The expansion, which will create 20 jobs, responds to rising demand from business and leisure travellers near London Luton Airport, which itself is undergoing major growth.

Construction is expected to start later this year.

Anil Khanna, managing director of KE Hotels, said: “We are delighted to receive planning consent.

“With demand at Luton Airport showing sustained growth, and now the exciting Universal Studios resort on the horizon, it feels like the right time to expand and upgrade the hotel to meet current and future needs. 

“This development represents our continued commitment to investing in high-quality assets and delivering exceptional experiences to guests.”
