Sofitel London Heathrow: Enjoy an Easy Day Trip to London While in Transit

Offering direct access to London Heathrow’s Terminal 5 — as well as to the London Metro’s Piccadilly line and the 15-minute Heathrow Express  — the Sofitel London Heathrow is perfect for a one-night stay before an early morning flight home or if you arrive early for an organized tour or cruise transfer that meets at the airport. It features 605 plush and contemporary rooms and suites in 12 categories, a spa with a relaxing thermal pool area, and two dining options, the French-British fusion eatery La Belle Epoque and the more casual Vivre Le Difference Des Saveurs (yes, it’s in London, but Sofitel is a trés French company). There's also Sphere Bar & Lounge, which features Icelandic décor and a fireplace and serves pub-style small plates. From the hotel, guests can access shops within the pre-security area of Terminal 5 to buy water, wine, or snacks.
