Surrounded by attractive trees and lawns, Holiday Inn Derby-Nottingham is set peacefully back from the M1 motorway with its own complimentary car park. The fresh, climate-controlled guestrooms allow guests to stay in touch with high-speed Internet and complimentary copies of The Independent newspaper. They are also equipped with pay-per-view films and tea and coffee supplies. Some rooms have views of the hotel’s quiet gardens.

A hearty full English breakfast buffet (including succulent sausages, hash browns and black pudding) is available each morning in The Restaurant, overlooking the gardens. Sink into a leather sofa and enjoy a coffee in the chic lounge and bar area. The restaurant also offers themed dinner evenings, such as the Curry Club and Grill Night.
