Guests arrive at the hotel via a carpeted walkway from Gatwick Airport's North Terminal, stepping into a large and light atrium. The sound and sight of water in the pools down the center along with the numerous green plants give the feel of an airy oasis. Built in 1990, the hotel's public area has a village atmosphere, with cafes, restaurants, and bars, providing the perfect retreat for business and leisure guests. The hotel is conveniently located between Brighton and London. Victoria Station, in central London, can be reached in 30 minutes by train.
Sofitel London Gatwick's conference facilities have a dark wood paneled and blue carpeted reception area on the podium floor of the atrium, with Internet access, televisions showing news stations, and electronic meeting boards directing delegates to the correct rooms. There are 13 meeting rooms in total catering from two to 300 delegates theater style or 220 for banquets. Decorated with cream walls and blue carpets and chairs, these are fully air-conditioned with audio-visual facilities, outward-facing windows with full length cream and blue drapes. Drinks and cold food are served in the meeting rooms whilst a break-out area is located out in the atrium. The hotel's three restaurants are also available for conference lunches, and the Executive floor provides all day snacks.
