Is The Gatwick Hilton Really The Best Airport Hotel?
You can cope with most things that life throws at you, but lack of sleep makes even the most sane man, a complete git, so there is nothing worse than finding out your stopover hotel is worse than fawlty towers. There is nothing worse than having to spend a night before an important business meeting in a crummy, 2 star, box room and having to share the only bathroom on the entire hotel floor with 4 drunk Norwegians.
You can use a comparison site, but other than that you have to go on word of mouth, so we’ve done the hard bit and found you the very best airport hotels for you and we think we’ve found the 2 best hotels in England. First up, it will matter where you fly from as not every airport has a decent hotel, but fear not, we’ve not just sourced one, but two of the finest Gatwick and Heathrow airport hotels as these are the two most popular airports in the UK.
And first up, we have the brilliant Hilton, the only Gatwick airport hotel linked to the South Terminal by a covered walkway. Providing 4 star service, the Gatwick Hilton is perfect for travellers flying from the South Terminal or if you fancied a little sighsteeing in London thanks to the Gatwick Express train service. Standard Room facilities include a private bathroom, tea/coffee making facilities, TV and phone. The rooms also feature la source toiletries, a big plazma TV, air conditioning, 24 hour room service, pay per view movie channel and even a mp3 docking station.
And if you arent flying from Gatwick, chances are it will be Heathrow, if so, check out the luxury 5 star Radisson Edwardian Heathrow hotel. Perfectly located just a few minutes from Heathrow Airport, the Radisson has some of the finest furniture and fxtures found in any hotel with particular attention on classic design and specially comissioned artwork. A standard room includes private bathroom, tea/coffee making facilities, TV and phone as you would expect, but they go a little further than most by also providing a luxury en-suite bathroom, mini bar, cable/satellite TV, AM/FM Radio, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, in-room movies and in-room safe.
If that wasn’t enough to tempt you, they also provide 24 hour room service with some of the most exquisite food and the room has a brilliant air conditioning unit to keep you at just the right temperature as you burn the midnight oil on that final piece of preparation for your meeting.
If you have to spend a night in an airport hotel, then do it in style and you won’t find two better hotels in the UK than these.
