If convenience is at the top of your list of priorities then the Riverlights has to be worthy of serious consideration. The 105 air-conditioned bedrooms are sparse and clean and set off by a stunning glass atrium that looks out across the city and the river, a feature that comes into it’s own at night when Derby sparkles like a jewel in the Peak District’s rural crown. The onsite Health Club and Gym is more than adequately equipped and the life-saving buffet breakfast is packed with tasty choices for kids and parents alike, from pancakes and kippers to poached eggs on request.

Like many of those in the chain, guests at the hotel can become priority club members and collect the points to convert to air miles – with is doubly convenient when you have East Midlands Airport just a fifteen minute drive away.

The Riverlights hotel is less than 1 mile from the A52 trunk road that leads into the heart of the city – R4U
