The Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel is the first and only hotel designed specifically with athletes in mind.
Whether its removing those annoying standby lights that illuminate most hotel rooms; having open storage and wardrobes to accommodate large sports luggage; a relaxation room with special ergonomic seating/furniture for athletes to kick back and recuperate; or having every space designed to be accessible for our para athlete guests, our facilities are unparalleled in the UK.
Add to that our inspiring and aspirational location at the heart of Loughborough University's world leading sports facilities, and overlooking the running track and field that started the careers of our most celebrated sports people such as Sebastian Coe, Paula Radcliffe, Tanni Grey-Thompson, Clive Woodward, and you'll appreciate how our facilities will inspire elite athletes to be the best they can be.

Double Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock is set to compete at Loughborough European Athletics Permit (LEAP).
Some of the world’s best athletes have confirmed their attendance at the annual Loughborough European Athletics Permit (LEAP) on Tuesday 6 August 2019.
As preparations ramp up a gear ahead of next summer’s Olympic and Paralympic Games, Loughborough’s own Sophie Hahn will race in the 100m. Hahn is sure to be full of confidence after her last time out on the Paula Radcliffe track resulted in a new world record for the 22-year-old.
Following a strong performance at the Anniversary Games in London, sprinter Beth Dobbin will compete in both the 100m and 200m. After running a personal best of 22.50 in the capital, Dobbin will be looking to build on a strong start to the season on home soil.
In the field, spectators can expect a hard battle between Taylor Campbell and Chris Bennett in the Hammer, whilst GB’s top three javelin throwers will also compete.
Current Loughborough University student Bekah Walton faces tough competition from Laura Whittingham and Emma Hamplett – both of whom have strong connections of their own to Loughborough as graduates of the University and college respectively.
The event is held at the Paula Radcliffe Athletics Centre on Tuesday 6 August, with gates open at 1pm.
Tickets details and further information are available on the Loughborough Sport website.
