Where: Arrivals Mezzanine Landside, Terminal 4, Heathrow Airport, Hounslow, Middlesex, United Kingdom, TW6 3AFJune 9, 2008 at 11:26 AM | 1 Comment
Turns out the best hotel in London isn't Hotel 41, Claridge's or even The Ritz London. It's the Yotel at Heathrow Airport.
OK, fine, so Heathrow's not exactly a vacation hot spot, but since its opening last year, the hotel has earned rave reviews from travelers faced with long layovers or early a.m. flights. Often compared to a cabin on a cruise ship, guests profess love for the property's comfy beds, free WiFi, rain shower and accessibility, in that you can book a room for as little as four hours.
As one reviewer put it: "Far better than the transit lounge benches!"
The only compliant seems to be that the hotel is somewhat hard to find. Yotel's web site cloudily claims to be located in Terminal 4, but it is really in the Arrivals lounge, which means you have to pass through immigration and transit security before you can check in.
Rates for Yotel's Heathrow outpost start at $49. The chain also has a similar property at Gatwick and is set to open an Amsterdam Schiphol location later this year.
