An Oasis of Refined Luxury at T5 LHR

Directly connected to Heathrow’s new Terminal 5, the 605-bedroom Sofitel London Heathrow opened recently and will be one of the largest luxury airport hotels and meetings and events venues in Europe.

Each of the hotel’s four room categories (Classic, Superior, Luxury and Suites) offers bespoke MyBed concept, a Smart desk housing “plug-ins” for the latest technology, satellite television and movie choices, Wi-Fi connection, direct dial telephone and safes. All bathrooms have separate bath and walk-in shower units.

Guests will enjoy moving through the hotel from area to area, from the warm and inviting comfort of the Lobby Lounge with its own floating fireplace leading then on to Sphere, the Lobby Bar, through large elegant pivot doors.

Opposite Sphere is Vivre, the hotel’s main restaurant, a buzzy dining experience, with clear views onto each vibrant kitchen as staff serve at the Wok Station, Pizzeria and Rotisserie. Brasserie Roux, in consultation with French master chef Albert Roux, will offer a stylish French dining experience.

Tea 5, the Tea Salon, will be a treat for those who fancy things beautiful and exquisite – a feast of sweets beautifully displayed in delicately designed feature forms and a variety of exotic teas from around the world.

The Library Bar is the cosy corner of the ground floor. A contemporary cutting edge funky Bar with its Folly Bar feature and a raised area tucked away with very comfy ‘clubby’ seating throughout.

The Meetings and Events facility boasts 45 meeting rooms, the largest accommodating 1700 theatre style or 1000 in dinner dance; purpose-built tiered theatre for 117 delegates and three state-of-the-art Executive boardrooms with private dining facilities.

Sofitel London Heathrow also offers 400 car parking spaces underground, an internal Avenue with retail shops and luxury state-of-the-art spa facilities including six treatment rooms and gym and thermal suite including a vitality pool.

For all your hotel bookings, contact us. Remember we do not levy a transaction fee if your booking is made at the same time as you book the related airfare. This new Sofitel could be ideal for your outward journey if you have an early morning start and want to avoid the unpredictable congestion of the M25
