"Just the phrase “airport hotel” is enough to summon a certain gloom, a utilitarian look, a dull business-park location and a philosophy that places economy above aesthetics. The Aviator Hotel, however, is a different animal. The concept was dreamt up by the Scottish hotelier Ken McCulloch, the man responsible for such formidable lodgings as One Devonshire Gardens, and it’s an ambitious one: by turning its back on the traditional conception of the airport hotel, and embracing everything that’s cool, romantic and dazzling about aviation, it’s done nothing less than re-invent the genre." - Tablet Hotels
