About Sofitel London Heathrow
Sofitel London Heathrow is the only hotel joined directly to Terminal 5, with a covered walkway that gets you to the terminal in under five minutes. It is a large, full-service hotel with 605 rooms and suites, several restaurants and bars, a spa and a gym open 24 hours. It is usually the most expensive stay at Terminal 5, so it earns its place for a flight before 07:00, a late landing, or a family with heavy bags and small children, who get family rooms, connecting rooms and free cots.
Suits: Departures before 07:00, late arrivals into Terminal 5, and anyone with heavy bags or small children.
Why choose it: It is joined to Terminal 5 by a covered walkway. You reach the terminal in under five minutes, with nothing to book and no timetable to meet.
The compromise: Usually the most expensive stay at Terminal 5, and eating in the hotel is priced to match.
Worth paying more? Yes for a flight before 07:00 or a late arrival. For a mid-morning flight a cheaper hotel with a short transfer does the same job.
Family rooms: Family Room with two double beds, sleeps four, 35 square metres. Connecting rooms and free cots are available.
Rooms: 605 rooms and suites.
Eating: Several restaurants and bars on site, including La Belle Époque, Vivre, Tea 5 and Sphere Bar.
Getting into London: The Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line both run from Terminal 5.
