OT: New Hilton Hotel opening at LHR T5
News release here.
Doesn't look quite as handy as the Sofitel, but probably easier to get to T5 from there than the existing LHR Hilton.

Cheapskates. It's always so helpful when hotels have airport shuttles - maybe BAA won't let them?

But the Hilton at T4 does offer a shuttle to T5 (altough I wonder if this will stop when the T5 Hilton is opened!)

Almost, but not quite.
Now, I don't work for Saatchi & Saatchi, but I think that for the Carlsberg drinker, the best airport hotel in the world would have...hmm...direct lounge access...beds that transform into airplane seats and carry you onto the plane...and, of course, supermodel-maid-FAs accompanying you on your hovering bed/seat (the 'French maid' outfits are removable thanks to the magic of Velcro, revealing BA uniforms - albeit with, er, slightly shorter skirts - underneath).
