Airport Hotel or Hotel Near the Airport?
One common question travellers ask is whether to stay at an airport hotel with parking or a hotel near the airport with long stay parking. Both options have their pros and cons.
Staying at an airport hotel offers convenience with direct access to the terminals. However, you’ll likely need a shuttle service to reach your terminal, and the cost can be higher due to the premium location.
Staying at a hotel near the airport provides a quieter and more relaxed experience away from the airport’s bustle. But you might need to take a shuttle to the terminal, and the cost of parking can be a factor.
Parking Options at Heathrow Hotels
Most hotels offer Hotel, Park & Fly Packages, which typically include parking. If this package isn’t available, inquire about parking charges or if they have preferential rates or deals with local parking companies.
