London airports gain hotels

PREMIER INN, which claims to be the UK’s largest and fastest-growing hotel operator, has announced plans for four new hotels at London’s leading airports, creating a total of 1,570 rooms.  The properties will be leased from the Arora Family Trust, already a major player at Gatwick and at Heathrow, where it operates the T5 Sofitel on behalf of Accor.  The hotels will open on a phased basis from the autumn of 2011 onwards: Heathrow Terminal 5, 400 rooms; Heathrow Terminal 4, 240 rooms; Stansted, 300 rooms; Gatwick North Terminal, 630 rooms.  The new Gatwick hotel will be the first airport terminal-based budget hotel in the UK.  www.premierinn.com
