The Farnborough Airport hotel rated among UK’s best in Tripadvisor awards
Just within Hampshire’s border with Surrey sits a particularly popular hotel. Described as both “stunning” and “top-notch”, Aviator, on Farnborough Road, has been named among the top 25 hotels in the UK.
The venue, overlooking Farnborough Airport, came seventh in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, which lists the best-rated hotels on its website. With views of the airport and luxurious facilities, the hotel was rated five stars out of five.
With London being such a hotspot for top hotels, Aviator was the only hotel from the Home counties to appear on the list. The architectural grandeur and futuristic shape are what many guests are blown away by, along with the sweeping staircase in the lobby.

The stairs lead up to the secluded setting and relaxing lounges of the Sky Bar where signature cocktails are served including Silver Jet, The High Life, Cumulus Cloud and The Mile High Club. With epic aircraft views from the window, afternoon tea is also served in here every day of the week from £35 per person.
Downstairs is a glamorous brasserie serving a sophisticated a la carte menu daily from 6pm. Alongside the likes of roast lamb saddle, poached trout and hoisin glazed smoked tofu, is a range of mouth-watering steaks with meat from Aldershot butches, A Turner and Sons.
Cuts include a 320g sirloin steak, 320g rib-eye steak, and a whopping 900g T-bone steak, all served triple cooked chips, ranch dressed baby gem, crispy onion and a choice of sauce.
As for the room and suites, interiors are contemporary yet rich and comfortable, with walnut panelling, leather accented furniture and wet rooms with black glass walls, granite vanity tops and chrome finishing. All beds are king size in Aviator Rooms and Aviator Studio hotel rooms, or super king size in the Sky Suites, with crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen and goose down pillows and duvets. Complimentary movies, music library and wifi are included for all guests in every hotel room at Aviator.
While there isn’t a swimming pool or large spa, treatments are available for a spot of pampering including stress releasing massages and uplifting facials. Located a short drive from the M3, the hotel is easy to get to and has its own, large free car park.
Tripadvisor awards its Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best prize to hotels with a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the online community over a 12-month period. Each winner has passed rigorous trust and safety standards.
Fewer than 1% of Tripadvisor’s 8 million listings are awarded Best of the Best, signifying the highest level of excellence in hospitality.
