The best Heathrow hotels
Heathrow Airport has to be experienced to be truly believed. What began life as a small airfield called Great West Aerodrome in 1929 has since grown into a five-terminal behemoth that, in international passenger traffic, is Europe’s busiest airport and the world’s second busiest after Dubai International. And accordingly, there’s no end of hotels – either in the airport or nearby – to choose from. But where to start? We’ve rounded up some of the top Heathrow Airport hotels for you to look through.

The best Heathrow airport hotels
Novotel London Heathrow Airport
Although it's not technically based inside the airport, this four-star hotel is only quick drive from Heathrow (around 4 minutes), so it's definitely worth considering if you’re content to factor in a short cab ride.
Time Out tip: You’re not far from Windsor Castle here, so if you've got a spare afternoon, do take the journey out to Liz and Phil’s Berkshire pad.
Yotel London Heathrow
Just like it's Yotel siblings, this chain branch takes its cue from the capsule hotels of Japan: think small, think efficient, think dinky.
Time Out tip: If you’re in need of just a short kip – Yotel is bookable by the hour. (No sniggering, please.)
Hilton London Heathrow
An outpost of the world-famous Hilton chain, and one that’s a pretty striking sight: slick, huge and fronted by a wall of glass.
Time Out tip: Catching a red-eye flight? No biggie. The hotels restaurant, Aromi, dishes up breakfast from a yawn-inducing 5am, so you can fill up before flying out.
London Heathrow Marriott
A hotel from the Marriott group that has half of mile of breathing space from the hustle and bustle of Heathrow.
Time Out tip: If the weather’s good, make the most of the restaurant's outdoor terrace, where you can watch the steady flow of planes taking off and coming in to land.
Renaissance Hotel Heathrow
Renaissance is a big, boxy hotel based on the outskirts of the airport. Yes, it evokes a bygone age of travel, but hey - it's the classic decor that makes it so charming.
Time Out tip: There’s no shuttle service that takes you to the airport, so make sure you get an Uber or ask the desk to ring a local cab company.
