Filming at Aviator Hampshire

Aviator offers a striking setting for filming, with refined interiors, rich textures and signature design details. Set on over 7 acres overlooking Farnborough Airport, its landmark architecture, inspired by an aircraft propeller, provides a sleek and timeless backdrop.

Located on the Hampshire and Surrey border and within easy reach of London, Aviator provides a discreet, self-contained environment with private access, expansive outdoor areas and dramatic runway views.

Inside, the atmosphere is calm, cinematic and carefully curated. Modern finishes and considered mood lighting create intimate, polished spaces throughout, while sculpted lighting adds depth and clarity for filming. At the heart of the hotel, the iconic rotunda, a sweeping multi-level atrium, serves as a striking architectural centrepiece ideal for visually led, impactful interior shots.
