Carlton Hotel

Elvis Presley only set foot on British soil once when his army transport plane stopped in Prestwick.

His experience of Ayrshire may have been brief but many reckon that it inspired him to record You’re the Reason I’m Living, Wonderful World and, slightly more controversially, I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine.

Give yourself a reason to sing by snapping up today’s Big Deal on a stay at the welcoming Carlton Hotel, Prestwick.
