Arora Hotels new opening
As major development continues at Heathrow, the airport gains another hotel this summer with the Hilton Garden Inn Terminal 2 taking bookings from 14 August. Part of the Arora Hotels portfolio, it will connect directly to the terminal via a covered walkway.
The property (below) has 369 rooms with free wi-fi and mini-fridges. Other features include 335sq m of meeting space, a 24hr fitness centre, two restaurants and a sky bar with 350deg views of the airport. Arora says the walk to the terminal will take about 5min.
General manager James Street said: “This will be the first Hilton Garden Inn to be added to the Arora Group portfolio, and we look forward to delivering the highest levels of service in a hotel situated at Heathrow’s most prime location.”
Street joins the new venture from an Arora Group sister property, the Renaissance London Heathrow, where he was operations manager since 2015. Before this, he led the team at Holiday Inn London Heathrow T5 as general manager, following the hotel's refurbishment in June 2014.
The Arora Group also operates the recently-opened Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express hotels at Heathrow’s Terminal 4, which are linked to the terminal by a bridge, plus the Holiday Inn London Heathrow T5 and the Sofitel London Heathrow.
