Which LHR Hotel Should I Stay In Order For Aircraft Spotting...?
As I'm planning to London Heathrow by mid-May 2008 & stay in an airport hotel that would be able to facing the runway / taxiway for most of the aircraft in actions, any expert opinion / recommendations here that which hotel I should stay...?
I had done some research & so far that's the only info below I can find: Spotters at London Heathrow: London Heathrow Airport (LHR/EGLL) - SpottersWiki Radisson Edwardian Heathrow Hotel: Heathrow airport hotel - 5 star Radisson Edwardian Heathrow Holiday Inn LONDON-HEATHROW ARIEL: Holiday Inn HAYES Hotels | LONDON-HEATHROW ARIEL | Welcome Holiday Inn LONDON Hotels: Holiday Inn LONDON Hotels | LONDON-HEATHROW | Welcome Renaissance London Heathrow: https://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps...eathrow-hotel/ Not sure are these the only 4 hotels that are the closest to the LHR airport...?

Re: Which LHR Hotel Should I Stay In Order For Aircraft Spotting...?
Three weeks ago I was stranded in this hotel (Premier Travel Inn).
Very nice but should be quite expensive. I donīt know the rates because BA paid for me. BTW, it was a remarkable trip: of my two flights FRA - LHR - FRA I had three (!) cancellations and one additional night! |

Re: Which LHR Hotel Should I Stay In Order For Aircraft Spotting...?
Renaissance (marriot) is probably best bet as this overlooks 27R and airport.
they do weekend breaks for spotters with a room overlooking the runway. However, be aware the sun is in front most of the day, so not ideal if trying to photograph, and security is extremely tight. But sometimes it's worth it. From last Sunday: 5N-BGG B762 Bellview (taken from end of 09L)
