LHR Terminal 3 Hotel

Does anyone have the inside track as to what is happening with the new Aerotel in Terminal 3? It was originally supposed to open in April and then was delayed. When you contact Aerotel they can't give you an answer as to when it might open.

If anyone has seen the construction in T3 Arrivals, does it look close to being ready?

Thanks for any info.

Just an FYI, this opened at T3 today.

"London’s Heathrow Airport has a new hotel in one of its terminals. As of Tuesday, Aerotel London Heathrow has opened its doors, making it the only in-terminal hotel in LHR’s Terminal 3.

While the new hotel, which is a member of the Plaza Premium Group, is located within Terminal 3, it also serves terminals 2, 4 and 5. More specifically, the hotel is located just off of T3 Arrivals and offers two floors, featuring a total of 82 rooms.

There are three types of room categories for travelers to choose from: Solo Plus, Double Plus and Family Room, the latter of which can fit up to four people. Each of the rooms features the normal hotel offerings like a shower, power outlets, Wi-Fi and more.

Much like the offering at the recently opened TWA Hotel at New York’s Kennedy Airport (JFK), the Aerotel Heathrow will offer daytime stays. You can book a six-hour, nine-hour, 12-hour or overnight stay, starting from £50 (~$61) including tax. Until Dec. 31, you can get 30% off your stay of nine hours or more by booking through myaerotel.com.

The Plaza Premium Group may sound familiar to frequent travelers. It’s the same group that runs Plaza Premium lounges around the world, including those at Heathrow. The Aerotel Heathrow is the group’s first hotel venture at the airport.

Terminal 3 is home to most Oneworld airlines like Qantas, American, Cathay Pacific and Japan Airlines, as well as some British Airways flights. In addition, Virgin Atlantic, Delta Air Lines and Emirates operate out of Terminal 3.

Aerotel is now open!

At last - a hotel that doesn’t involve a bus or taxi ride from the Bath Road!

However - if you like space or a room with a view, forget it. It’s the same concept as the Bloc at Gatwick for anyone who’s stayed there - perfect for convenience but tiny rooms.

There are loads of hotels pretty much easily accessible from the Terminals now:

T5 - Sofitel
T4 - Hilton, Premier Inn (seen £29 rooms in this), Holiday Inn Express, Crown Plaza.
T3 /T2 (Let's face it they are the same) - Hilton Garden inn, Aerotel (which seems to aiming at the day room side).

And might as well be (given that its a short tube ride): Garden Inn Hatton Cross, Atrium.

Absolutely no need to get bus to those out on the edges nowadays...
