tweetybird Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I am looking for 4*or 5* hotel within walking distance to Heathrow. Can anyone recommend one? Thx
WillTravel Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Which terminal will you be using? That would affect the recommendation.I think PRICELINE or HOTWIRE is not a good option for this, because I don't think a single hotel that is walkable from Heathrow has shown up. You'd need either a bus or cab.
Sweetone Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 As WillTravel said the terminal will be very important. A couple of year's ago we stayed at the Sheraton Skyline on Bath Road which is very near terminals 1,2, & 3. There is a bus called the Hotel Hoppa which will take you there for a fee. We used the local bus that is free between Heathrow and a few of the hotels. We had to walk about a block. We stayed there on New Year's Eve and it was a little noisy in the wee hours. We finally gave up and went to the airport to await the opening of the BA lounge. The buses ran even at those hours. I hope this will help a little.
thereuare Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 If you go to BackUpBooking.com you can enter "LHR" or "Heathrow" as the address and see all the hotels and their proximity to the airport.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

tweetybird Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 I believe we are leaving thru terminal 3.
ikelmay Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 If you plan to have no luggage or hand baggage and are in training for the olympics it's possible, otherwise consider some sort of transport to the nearest hotels - it's a slog from T3 to even the nearest hotels on Bath Rd. I would check out hotels that lie within the Heathrow Airport "freeflow" zone if you don't want to cab it or take the Heathrow Hoppa (an absolute ripoff in my opinion). Freeflow allows you to travel free of charge on public transport - most major hotels on Bath Rd lie within the zone. We have had excellent experiences via PRICELINE with the Sheraton Skyline and the Heathrow Sheraton.
