| Ariel Hotel Heathrow Airport |
The Ariel Hotel Heathrow Airport is one of four Holiday Inn franchise hotels at Heathrow. The Ariel Hotel Heathrow is at the north-east corner of the airport on the northern perimeter road, (Bath Road), the main hotel strip at Heathrow Airport.
The Ariel Heathrow is a mid-range hotel in terms of price and facilities. In most countries systems of hotel grading this would be equivalent to a 3 star property, perhaps 4 star.
The Ariel Heathrow has quite a good position, especially good for Terminals 1 and 3. You have access to some restaurants, pubs and services within a short walk as an alternative to the hotel plus the airport bowling alley is next door. There is an excellent choice of local buses operating every couple of minutes from outside the hotel to local towns. The buses can also be used as a free transfer to the passenger terminals as an alternative to the 'official' Hoppa Bus service which is not complementary and comes at a full price.
The other Holiday Inn hotels at Heathrow are the Holiday Inn Bath Road, Holiday Inn M4 Junction. and Holiday Inn Express Terminal 5.
