1night (before early flight) likely at a Sheraton by LHR

I was able to score the AndAZ for 18,000pts/night on weekend.
Is this a reasonable rate? (fairly new to Hyatt).

Is for holiday with a girl who does not travel much nor knows London well, so thought kind of a trendy, fancy place like the AndAZ, followd by a more traditional ParkLane gig would be fun.

That's a terrible award rate for a room, or even a suite, at that hotel on a weekend, when rooms often go for GBP100 or less a night! Might be OK for a Sun-Thurs night.

How early is your flight? Might be better to stay near Paddington station (even at the Park Lane, if you can taxi to Paddington) and take the H'Ex to the airport. That's can be faster than staying at the LHR Bath road hotels and taking the Hotel Hoppa bus -- check out the UK forum for more details.
