Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5

The bizarre thing about the new Hilton T5 is that it isn’t exactly located at London Heathrow Terminal 5.  Not in the sense you can just walk out of the hotel into the terminal building. Admittedly, the hotel is only 2 miles away and served by a frequent shuttle bus, but the truth is being somewhat stretched here to attract the lucrative Heathrow business traveller market.

You arrive at Hilton T5 having initially circumnavigated a scruffy airport cargo area, making this smart hotel seem out of place.  Yet, this is a nicely designed hotel with everything the business traveller might need; standard bedrooms are well soundproofed against aircraft noise and are a good size.  Meeting rooms are equipped with the latest hi-tech A.V., and there’s even a large garden/patio outside area.

The main function room can hold over 1,000 people and has a good ceiling height aided by retractable chandeliers.  Although the room lacks any daylight, the conservatory pre-function area compensates for this.

In addition to the main hotel catering area is a “celebrity restaurant” – Mr Todiwala’s Kitchen. Wonderful for  fans of pan-Indian cuisine.  Central to this  lovely room is a life size wooden elephant.  Specially carved for the hotel and flown in. At least it didn’t have far to travel on arrival at LHR.
