Hotels to Visit
There are a wide range of hotels to visit by helicopter, to either stay or simply pop in for lunch and a sandwich. The Hotels listed below provide you with some ideas of where you might like to fly and the facilities they can provide. There is also some basic information on how to find them and the helipad or landing site. Remember that all these sites are PPR, so if you are qualified to fly in then you should give them a call before setting out. Some of these hotels are not licensed for commercial flights in to them, so if you need one of our pilots to take you there give us a call to explore whether this is possible. All the hotels below have a link to their website so you can easily make contact with them and pre-book your lunch, room or perhaps a relaxing treatment where they have a spa. We hope you enjoy flying to these hotels and would love to hear about your trips to them, so we can feature them in Rotortalk. We shall be adding to the list regularly, so there will be plenty of choice. Enjoy.
