The Greatest Hotels In Britain
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 may be thinking you cant avoid this travel faux pas, but you’d be wrong, because we’ve scoured the country in seach of the very best airport hotels for you and we’ve found 2 stunning places. Firstly, we understand it depends where you fly from, so we’ve taken the liberty of finding, not one, but two of the finest Gatwick and Heathrow airport hotels as these are 2 of the most popular airports in Britain.
At number one, is the amazing 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. Every room comes with the standard tea and coffe making facilities as well as TV and phone and the all important private bathroom. 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. It’s situated minutes from Heathrow Airport and is lavishly designed and decorated with Oriental artefacts, specially commissioned artwork and even designer furniture. The rooms match the brilliance of the hotel and offer you a luxurious en-suite bathroom coupled with the latest technology via TV, telephone, radio and in room safe for you to keep those valuables under lock and key.
Still not convinced? The hotel also offers 24 hour room service with some exceptional food and air conditioning throughout, including your room so even if you need to work in to the midnight hour, you can be certain you’ll do it in style at the right temperature.
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.
