New airport hotel ready to launch at Heathrow this month

Aerotel London Heathrow, an airport hotel, is due to open its doors at Heathrow Terminal 3 this month.

Now available for online reservation, the hotel has existing operations in the likes of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Abu Dhabi airports. The Heathrow expansion will be Aerotel’s sixth hotel opening, the first in Europe.

As the only airport landside hotel at Heathrow Terminal 3, Aerotel will be open 24/7 to guests and the hotel lobby is located in the east wing of Terminal 3 arrivals. The airport hotel is accessible by foot from Terminal 2, the central bus station and Heathrow Express.

Amin Amin, Aerotel’s general UK manager, commented: “Aerotel London Heathrow is the group’s sixth hotel at an airport to meet the demand of transit passengers.

“It promises a comfortable airport accommodation and flexible booking hours, bringing guests a brand new home-away-from-home experience at Heathrow.”

The ‘hotel’ is said to be good for travellers who have a long layover before a connecting flight or perhaps are arriving or departing late at night or early in the morning, Aerotel London Heathrow offers flexible bookings available from six hourly slots.

John Arbuckle, Heathrow’s head of property, added: “We are delighted to have worked with Aerotel to bring Heathrow passengers this new hotel next to Terminal 3 Arrivals.

“This will be really valuable for customers in need of a quiet haven to rest, relax and prepare for their onward journey.”

The boutique-sized airport hotel offers 82 ‘premium yet affordable’ rooms, each accommodating between one and four guests. There are four different types of rooms; Solo Plus, Double Plus, Double Squared and Family.

Aerotel London also features a 24-hour Library Lounge offering a variety of hot and cold food and drinks. Guests can stay connected with complementary Wi-Fi, too.

Room packages at Aerotel London start from £50 for six hours.
