Suggest you contact the hotel in advance and ask, "subject to availability" of course, for an adjoining double and twin (non-smoking if that's what you want). I emailed them before my recent priceline stay (using the email form on their website), and although I didn't get any reply or confirmation they had two sets of adjoining rooms ready for us. You'll need to ask for them to unlock the connecting door.

Looks like we're on a roll with the LGW Le Meridien! Should just add a note of caution here - the 4* Arora has come up a few times as reported by other posters, although nothing has been posted about it since January. The Le Meridien is a very convenient hotel, connected by walkway to north terminal (which is 2 mins on monorail from S Terminal). Hotel is nice (have stayed there twice before, once on Priceline), with small swimming pool. Rooms are small and cannot take extra beds (but can take an infant cot, despite what they tell you on the phone if you try to make a telephone reservation - adding a cot after making the reservation was no problem). Hotel restaurants are very pricey (although the Gatwick Oriental chinese restaurant is actually quite good) - but you've always got the airport catering available as well. Never normally available for less than around

Bid through priceline.co.uk for four rooms: Starting bid GBP38 (rejected - counteroffer add GBP10) Free rebid (add Luton) GBP39 Waited 72 hours.... New bid GBP40 (accepted) (approx US equivalent at GBP1=US$1.79 would be US$71.6 per room, before taxes) Total cost for four rooms inc taxes & service fees: GBP193.60 Excellent board by the way, and so much more relaxed than some other places I could mention. Hope you don't mind me posting bidding result from UK site - if nothing else helpful to track how often Le Meridien comes up (on-terminal) compared to the Arora (several miles away).
