Perhaps creating a wiki with links to the active threads for London properties might work better? This is the primary thread that I've been keeping an eye on since I set up our flights into LHR late last year. Only after yesterday and searching through all of the properties to figure out which one would work best for my family did I actually start searching on the individual property threads. Could also include a link to Horace's post on his comparative analysis of different properties since that was also useful (and one that I found _after_ booking at the Park Lane - but that confirmed my decision).

Which is the most convenient from LHR? The Marriott or the renaissance? Shuttles/transport is not obvious on the hotel websites. Just staying for a couple of nights on business.
and how is the Windsor Marriott as an option further from LHR but closer to my customers.

I haven't stayed at the Heathrow/Windsor Marriott in quite a while. It was fine when I was there. You can take the Hoppa bus (5GBP) or a taxi (website says 50GBP).
Cheers.

Did the LHR Marriott just jump from Cat 6 to Cat 7 in the last couple of weeks?
I could have sworn it was showing up as 30k points/night (same as the Ren) when I looked at it recently... :/

No way would it cost Ł50 for a cab, more like Ł10-12. The driver can go back to the front of the queue once done

For what it's worth I don't actually care about how many posts are in the thread per year, but lot of good info in your wiki overall.
I know it took a lot of time, so well done you!!!
Cheers.

I did a search for "weekend lounge" on this thread and found from a few older posts that Grosvenor House is one that the lounge do open on the weekend.
Are they others that also open on weekend? Planning a 6-night stay in Summer and now just start going thru all the options available from Marriott.
