Am looking for a hotel at Gatwick that provides check in at 11 am.
Does anyone know of any to recommend?

None will do it as a matter of course, but if I want an early check in I
phone ahead the day before, ask nicely, and then ask nicely again when I
arrive. It usually works - 11am isn't *that* early and they will probably
have a room ready by then. Are you coming off a longhaul flight and want to
sleep straight away - and so won't have a problem if it's 11:30 or 12:00 by
the time you check in - or is there some other reason that means it *has* to
be 11am?

Ibis and Etap are particularly good at allowing you to check-in early,
providing there are available rooms. Don't know if there are any Ibis
hotels at Gatwick though- doubt there would be an Etap, but you never
know.
