The Best Western Heathrow Ariel Hotel, previously the Holiday Inn Ariel, is located less than a 10 minute drive from the airport, making it an ultra convenient choice. This welcoming, 3-star Heathrow hotel has a contemporary bar and restaurant, and the bedrooms are bright and comfortable, equipped with everything you need for a good night's sleep. Avid planespotters should request a south-facing room when they make their booking – they overlook the airstrip and offer a grandstand view of the takeoffs!

We recommend the Best Western Ariel for:

Peace and Quiet - Despite being so close to the airport, the Ariel is well soundproofed and we enjoyed a quiet night's sleep.

An elegant stay - Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and we loved the lightwell at the centre of the unusual ring-shaped building that lets in natural light at all times of day.

A quick ride to the airport - A bus or taxi takes only 10 minutes to terminals 1 and 3.

Home-style classics and hearty breakfast

  • Simple 4-star hotel
  • Close to T2 and T3
  • Home-style classics in the Junction restaurant
  • Well-stocked bar with outdoor terrace
  • Quick and easy parking at the hotel included

Experience simple comfort at this 4-star hotel with great amenities. Whether you fancy a classic meal at their restaurant or sipping a drink on the terrace, it's the perfect spot to kick back before your holiday. A hearty buffet breakfast spread and a team eager to help make this a brilliant pick for a hassle-free journey.
