Our Company

Icon Hotel (UK) is an independent luxury boutique hotel based centrally in Luton, Bedfordshire close to  London Luton International Airport.
Our Vision

Our vision is to exceed expectation by entirely satisfying our guests. We are devoted to ensuring we constantly improve to become the very best hotel in Luton & surrounding areas.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide accommodation, service and guest amenities of four star level at three star prices.

Our Philosophy

All of us here at the Icon genuinely take pride and honestly care about the needs of our guests. By recruiting like-minded staff adopting this philosophy, taking the very best care of those who choose to stay with us comes naturally.

Team Icon

Icon team members take pride & are devoted to their profession. Each member supports a fellow in their roles to provide our customers with the highest standard possible thus ensuring we achieve our mission. Emphasis is given to sharing of responsibility through this teamwork. By working together as colleagues and by treating each other with mutual respect and trust this will contribute to the Icon’s overall success.

Leadership

We will be an innovative leader in the local hotel industry and will continually improve products and services.

Honesty

We will maintain integrity, fairness and honesty in both our internal and external relationships and will never post false comments on third party websites.

The Community

We are proud to be a part of Luton and will actively participate in assisting and improving the community.
The Icon Hotel is privately owned & operated by Franco & Lefi Anacreonte. 

Our vision and aspiration is to purposely differentiate ourselves from any other hotel, particularly the larger chain-branded establishments, and to offer a quality and service of a 4 star hotel at affordable prices. On the 1st August 2008, we purchased arguably two of Luton's most iconic (hence the name) and landmark buildings; the former head offices of insurance giant Zurich Plc and the former Luton Chamber of Commerce, which had been vacant for some 10 years.

The buildings were adjacent to each other but not connected and joining them together to form one building proved an enormous technical & structural task.

The £3m conversion works commenced in March 2009 and we paid particular attention to sound proofing, comfort, design, energy saving features & subtle but nonetheless state-of-the-art gadgetry. We aim to open the first of two phases in the first week of November 2009 with the final phase opening by the first week in December 09.

We've furnished the hotel in a themed, elegant and aspirational manner. It is our deliberate intention to associate ourselves with and contribute to the community having sponsored for example both Luton Town Football Club (Franco's life-long team) & Luton Borough Council and continuously forging relationships with various local business. To this quest therefore we want the Icon to provide an ambience based not only on design but also interesting historical associations such as Luton's hat industry. Capello's (our signature restaurant) is both the Greek & Italian word for Hat. Luton Town FC are known as ‘The Hatters'.

We wish to be recognised as Luton's best hotel offering a truly exceptional and unique guest experience at affordable prices.

Christmas 2011

Christmas at the Icon Hotel Luton has now officially started!

Reservations are still available on selected dates so please call 01582 722123 or email events@iconhotelluton.com now!

Ho Ho Ho! :)
We have many glowing reviews and regularly receive positive feedback. One avenue of feedback we value is via Trip Advisor. Trip Advisor is growing rapidly and is becoming the focal point for consumer research in booking hotels and restaurants around the world. One of the key elements for us is that it allows us to interact with reviewers. We are currently ranked 5th as many of the other local hotels have existed in the town for longer than than the two years we have been open for. Obviously, a benchmark for us, is to achieve 1st place and maintain it. I have posted the most recent review below as it is a glowing example of what we are and how we aim to treat every guest as an individual.

The Famous Icon Hotel



The Icon Hotel Luton is now heading into a very busy period as we rapidly approach Christmas and the festive season.October was a great month for the hotel as we were again fully booked for a high proportion of the month. We also staged a Pink Pamper Party in aid of Breast Cancer Research on the evening of 23rd October 2011 which around 50 people attended.

The Icon has also become a hub for filming and celebrities. We welcomed an actor who was filming locally in a new Mike Newell film, we had the film crew from Come dine with me and this week we had the pleasure of welcoming Michael Katsidis and his team stay with us. Michael Katsidis will be challenging for the WBO World Lightweight title with Ricky Burns at Wembley Arena on Saturday the 5th November 2011. We wish him all the best in the future!

Dont forget there is still availability for Christmas Lunches, Parties and Buffets in December. Some dates are now sold out but places are still available on various day/evenings.

Remember, we always look forward to welcoming you to our stylish urban retreat!
