United Kingdom's first hotel designed for elite athletes, with altitude-controlled rooms on Loughborough University campus

Altitude Bedrooms & Performance Support

The hotel offers 20 altitude bedrooms that simulate high-altitude conditions for athletic training. Guests have access to a comprehensive on-site performance support team including accredited strength and conditioning coaches. The rooms include functional amenities like customizable heating and cooling options, and extra-long beds suited for tall athletes.

Access to World-Class Sports Facilities

Guests can use Loughborough University's sports facilities, including the Paula Radcliffe Athletics Track visible from some guest rooms. The hotel provides direct access to strength training gyms and sports performance areas on campus. This proximity allows athletes to walk from their room to training venues within minutes.

Performance Nutrition & Dining

The Kitchen offers a show cooking experience where meals are personalized and aligned with a high-iron nutritional philosophy for athletes. On-site nutrition workshops with expert performance chefs teach guests how to fuel for competition. The restaurant provides tailored menus that meet the dietary requirements of sports teams and individual athletes.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The hotel sits on Loughborough University campus, steps away from university sporting events and training facilities. Nearby outdoor activities are available at the National Forest, and the Paula Radcliffe Athletics Track is adjacent to the property. Donington Park and Belgrave Road are within a 20-minute drive, while East Midlands Airport is 12 km away.

Guest Amenities & Services

The hotel provides free on-site parking and a 24-hour front desk to accommodate early or late arrivals. A specialized performance nutrition service is available through The Kitchen, with pre-order meals for breakfast and dinner. Complimentary Wi-Fi and efficient check-in/check-out services are included, though basic room amenities focus on performance needs rather than luxury finishes.
