Hotels near Eindhoven Airport
At the airport and Flight Forum
The Tulip Inn is built above the terminal, on level 2 before security: a few seconds on foot. The Holiday Inn is at Flight Forum, the business park next to the airport, with electric buses covering the link in about 2 minutes.
Best for: Layovers of a few hours and dawn departures, when only the distance from check-in matters.
- From the Tulip Inn you reach check-in literally without leaving the terminal building
- No risk from traffic or bus schedules for anyone leaving very early
- Only terminal, offices and the business park around: there's nothing to do on foot in the evening
- The centre of Eindhoven still needs 25-30 minutes by bus or about 15 by car

Centre and Eindhoven Centraal
Bus 401 (Hermes) from the terminal to the central station in 25-30 minutes, every 10 minutes on weekdays; by taxi the almost 8 km take about 15 minutes.
Best for: Those who want the design district, the museums and the Stratumseind evening life, with the station and the airport bus close by.
- Vestdijk, the street with the best-rated hotels, is 300 metres from the station and the airport bus terminus
- The Van Abbemuseum, Strijp-S and the Stratumseind nightlife are all reachable on foot
- The bus becomes much less frequent in the evening and on weekends: for late returns the taxi is the better bet
- Vestdijk is also a street of bars and clubs: it can be noisy on weekend nights
Recommended hotels
