Formerly a pilot’s clubhouse and officer’s mess during the Second World War, The Aviator Hotel is an elegant and authentic Art Deco retreat that’s an absolute must-stay for aviation enthusiasts!

Not only will you overlook the bustling airfield of Sywell Aerodrome – where you could easily catch a captivating display – but the building itself is rich in fascinating aviation history and has been carefully preserved to showcase its abundant former glory.

The selection of stylish and comfortable bedrooms are ideal for couples and families alike, with double, twin and family rooms to choose from (choose a Superior Double for a little extra luxury).

The hotel also boasts an chic bar and restaurant, serving themed dishes expertly crafted from local produce, together with freshly-baked cakes.  In fact, why not treat yourselves to a classic, mouth-watering Afternoon Tea, then relax over a welcome digestif in the airfield-overlooking garden terrace?

Sywell Aerodrome itself dates back to 1928, and features an on-site museum that showcases the key role it played during the Second World War.  Pay a visit and immerse yourselves in history, or head to Sywell Country Park, where you’ll discover a wealth of family-friendly activities, a meandering reservoir trail to follow, and some beautiful picnic spots.
