Hotel of the week: Crowne Plaza Heathrow

With London Heathrow right on its doorstep, the luxurious Crowne Plaza Hotel is the perfect option for a hassle-free business trip.

Modern and stylish, the hotel offers a very travel-friendly arrangement: flight screens in the minimalist lobby display departure times away from the frenetic airport, while a 24-hour lounge provides a comfy haven for the weary traveller - perfect for guests catching that unappealing late night flight.

But the selling point of the Crowne Plaza Heathrow Hotel has to be the Park, Stay and Go package, which allows guests to leave their cars in one of the 850 secure car parking spaces for up to 15 days. This exclusive package includes one night’s accommodation and, if you don’t fancy your pickups and landings taking place on the hotel’s helipad, there is always the BAA Hoppa bus to transport you to and from the airport.

 The dedicated staff will settle you into one of the many spacious rooms or suites, but if you’re got a bad case of jetlag and want to relax in a more social atmosphere, guests can also benefit from the lobby lounge bar - the perfect place to meet a colleague or friend before enjoying a sophisticated dining experience at Orwell’s Brasserie. The very frazzled can unwind with a pint or two at O’Driscolls, the hotel’s very own Irish pub!

And there’s no need to put business on hold while you wait for your plane as the Crowne Plaza Heathrow caters for every business whim, offering 23 business rooms, an executive boardroom with additional breakout space and high speed internet available throughout.

Alternatively, if you’re putting the business on hold for another day, you can simply relax in the tranquillity of the Spirit Health Club. Take a swim in the large indoor swimming pool or let yourself unravel in the whirlpool and sauna. If you fancy a bit of fresh air or a more active option, guests are invited to play a leisurely round of golf on the hotel’s nine-hole golf course. Just don’t miss your flight!
