Review: London Heathrow Marriott Hotel

To wrap up the first stop on my trip to Europe, I spent a night at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel in anticipation of an early flight to Prague. I opted to stay at the airport so I could have a more fulsome lounge experience in the morning.

I managed to explore most of the hotel’s facilities during my short stay, including the on-site restaurant, the Executive Lounge, and the pool area. As far as an airport hotel goes, it was fairly well-appointed.

Here’s a review of my stay and the property.

London Heathrow Marriott Hotel – Booking

As with the rest of London, it’s hard to find a bargain when staying at a hotel. I was fortunate to get an attractive travel agent rate at the hotel, which I had to monitor for and book quickly when it became available.

Regular cash rates for the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel range from £120–190 ($183–290 CAD), with an average rate of around £160 ($244 CAD). As always, last minute bookings or any time when the hotel is busy will result in higher prices.

For bookings with Marriott Bonvoy points, expect to pay between 30,000–40,000 points per night. Based on our current valuation of 0.9 cents per point, there’s not a particularly compelling argument for a points redemption.

If you happen to have a spare Free Night Award available that’s about to expire, you could redeem it for a night here. Otherwise, you can likely squeeze more value out of it at a higher-end hotel.

London Heathrow Marriott Hotel – Location

The London Heathrow Marriott Hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes away from Terminal 2, and about 10 minutes by car from Terminal 5.

There aren’t too many sights or locations of interest around here. There are a number of other hotels in the area, which is in the town of Harlington. 

Aside from taking a taxi or ride-share from the airport, you can access the hotel using public transportation. You’ll need to take a mix of the subway and buses, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to sort out.
