A practical base for your break

Single rooms have a double or twin bed; twin rooms have two single beds; and double rooms have one double bed. These room types can accommodate a cot.
Family-of-three rooms have a double bed and rollaway bed; family-of-four rooms have a double bed and sofa bed. These two family room types cannot accommodate a cot. Family rooms for five or six consist of two interconnecting double rooms, each with a sofa bed, and may accommodate a cot. Check the exact bed layout offered for your dates before booking.
Rooms are en suite and include a pillow menu, hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TV, free WiFi, air conditioning and blackout shades.
Travelling with a baby? You may bring your own travel cot without advance notice, if your selected room type allows one. For a hotel-provided cot, call 0300 332 1421; availability is not guaranteed. Bring your own cot bedding. Adults sharing a room must be 18 or older.
Breakfast and dining
Express Start breakfast
Breakfast before your Studio Tour visit. Breakfast is included. Choose from a continental buffet with hot items and pastries. The supplied sources give different breakfast hours, so check the current serving times at the hotel or in your booking confirmation.
Great Room restaurant and bar
The Great Room serves a range of dishes for dinner, with a lounge for drinks and a lighter bite. Supplied dining hours are 5pm–10pm daily for dinner and 11am–11pm daily for the lounge, though hours can change. Weekend dinner reservations may be required.
The detailed package copy mentions 20% off the children's menu for children under 12 (one child per full-paying adult), plus 20% off soft drinks at the Great Room. A separate supplied FAQ says children under 12 eat free, which conflicts with that offer. Check the specific offer attached to your selected package before relying on either discount.
Parking
At the hotel: The supplied package copy describes complimentary on-site parking when guests register their vehicle at check-in. IHG’s current hotel page, however, lists self-parking at £16 per day. Check the rate and any package-specific inclusion on your booking confirmation before travelling. Accessible spaces and EV charging are described in the supplied details; confirm availability and charging cost with the hotel.
At the Studio Tour: Standard parking directly outside the venue is free. Have your booking confirmation ready. Blue Badge bays are close to the entrance; paid Priority Parking must be pre-booked online.
Getting to the Studio Tour
Plan your hotel arrival using SL3 8QB and your Studio Tour visit using WD25 7LR. Leave enough time for traffic, parking and your booked entry slot.
By car
The supplied hotel guide estimates about 30 minutes from the hotel to the Studio Tour, but traffic around Heathrow and the M25 can change that considerably. Follow live route guidance and the brown Studio Tour signs near Leavesden. Standard parking at the Studio Tour is free; hotel parking has separate terms.
By taxi
Book a licensed operator and give the driver WD25 7LR for the Studio Tour’s drop-off and pick-up area. Confirm the fare, return journey and pickup time in advance. The journey is roughly 20 miles by the supplied route, but distance and fare vary.
By rail and shuttle bus
The supplied hotel details mention Langley station near the hotel and Slough station around 3 miles away. A rail journey to Watford Junction involves connections across London, so check a live route planner for your travel date rather than relying on a fixed journey time. From Watford Junction, the complimentary Studio Tour shuttle takes about 15 minutes and runs at least every 30 minutes. Show a valid Studio Tour ticket or booking confirmation when boarding. The shuttle does not stop at the hotel.
Make the most of your break
If you are arriving via Heathrow, allow time to get to the hotel and then to the Studio Tour on your visit day. A later Studio Tour entry or second hotel night may make the break more relaxed, depending on your plans and live availability.
