Built in 1928 in Art Deco style, the Aerodrome Hotel is located adjacent to Croyden's historic aerodrome and situated on the main A23 road into London. Many company headquarters are located nearby the hotel and guests can take advantage of Croydon's national rail fast links to Central London destinations. Local attractions include Croydon Palace (2 miles from hotel), the 1000 year old former residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The hotel is also easy accessible from London Gatwick Airport, 16 miles from the hotel. Guests can dine at one of two on-site restaurants, the brasserie style Rayon d'Or or the more formal Amy Johnson restaurant. The latter serves dishes from European to Asian cuisines and is decorated with Art Deco lighting features and contemporary wood furnishings. Two bars serve cocktails as well as snacks and light meals. A 24- hour front desk can assist with general queries and storing valuables in safety-deposit boxes. The hotel can accommodate conferences and business seminars, up to 150 delegates. Guests receive a complimentary pass to a nearby health club that features an indoor pool and fully-equipped gym.
