Indulge yourself at the Arden hotel
Before you embark on your holiday, why not spend a night at the Arden hotel? It's got plenty of things to keep you entertained and relaxed. You can head to the Leisure Club and work up a sweat in the gym, or go for a quick swim in the pool. If you'd rather relax, then the sauna and steam room have got you covered. When you're hungry, just head down to the hotel's own Burgundy restaurant, where you can enjoy a selection of delicious dishes off the a la carte menu. There's even a bar for some after-dinner drinks! The next day, you'll be able to make the short walk to the free monorail or hop in a taxi.

Arden hotel was a wonderful pre flight stay, food and bevs very reasonably priced room perfectly adequate nice leisure facilities, good secure car park. Hotel a little dated but I don’t find this a problem as the hotel actually had some personality and caricature. Staff friendly. But could just do with a little TLC carpets needs a vacuum in corridors but I’d happily give it 9-10

Settle in for a stylish yet relaxed dining experience. Whether you're in the mood for a classic like fish and chips, a burger or a perfectly cooked steak, there's something to satisfy every craving. Start things off with a tasty appetiser and save room for dessert – think rich chocolate and caramel tart – yum!

The bar is stocked with all your favourites – spirits, beer, cider, wine, and soft drinks, plus coffee and tea if you're taking it easy.
Pair your drink with a bite from the bar menu, whether you're after a burger, flatbread, or just a nice sandwich. If you're after something lighter, there are plenty of snacks and small plates too.
Breakfast
The Meeting Place – 6.30am to 9.30am weekdays, 7am to 10.30am weekends
Start your day off right with a hearty full English or choose continental classics like pastries, cereals and fruit.
