I am in same situation as OP and based in London. Booked now on the early Saturday departure. In theory I could make my way to the airport from home in the very early AM but but would much prefer the Sofitel. Does BA have a duty to pay this if I put in a claim regardless of where I live?
The Regulation says "hotel accommodation in cases where a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary" (9.1.a), it doesn't say "at the customer's preference".
