Availability seems to have dried up for now on lastminute.com, and the pricing on hotwire is currently more than an advanced purchase directly from Sofitel. That said, I'm sure they'll be back, I haven't figured out if they have a pattern for when they make the hotel available yet.

Hello all,
Just booked for this weekend on Hotwire (the only 5* in the Heathrow area, 95% recommended) - £99 a night using the following:
Code HOTEL10 gets $10 (£7ish) off a booking over $100 (i.e. 1 night)
Code RMN30 gets $30 (£21ish) off a booking over $200 (i.e. anything including and over 2 nights. Actually if 2 nights only, this brings the price down to £94ish - even better!)
So, looks like it's back on Hotwire at least!
I did think I saw it on Lastminute yesterday, but seems to have been pulled.
Hope this helps someone.

If you're in no rush, can be better to wait for lastminute.com as you can get cashback on that.
Although my last couple of bookings that way have booked into twin rooms - will have to see if my Plat status has any help in getting that changed at checkin...

I think the Sofitel is back as a secret hotel on lastminute.com for £98 but it's showing as 4* and the Trip Advisor review count doesn't math. The description about the convienient location and the fact there is a hairdresser ticked in the spec makes me think it is but I'm unsure.
Anyone got a recent experience of this?

*edit* I think it's the Radisson Blu Edwardian on Bath Road.

Cheers thanks for your help! I've just spotted another secret hotel that's £107 so maybe that's more likely. There are very few details though, no trip advisor score and spec. It title is Stylish 4-star near Heathrow Terminal

Edit: Delayed post - I see you've figured this one out already.
