I don't personally see you as entitled to hotel, but there have been debates about it in the main EC261 thread (see the Dashboard) in previous years without landing on a firm conclusion. I do know that if a hotel bill is submitted after the event and a BAEC cardholder, it tends to get paid, but there won't be any advance confirmation of that. Taking to to CEDR is an option but I would have thought you can only really do that after the event and presumably after BA declined to pick up the tab. If BA have suggested doing that now, then it would be interesting to see what they say. I guess there's a principle involved, but if the hotel cost is low I'd query whether it's a good use of time.
