Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed here a few times before and remains my favourite hotel to stay when going travelling the next day. The room was nice and clean with friendly and welcoming staff at reception and the restaurant. The food was nice. The hotel in general is high quality building with shiny and clean facilities. Public transport is good to take you into the airport. Definitely staying here again."

"Having stayed a good few times at work, I was pleased to see the addition of the self check-in system, which we used. Unfortunately, two of the keys (out of three) didn't work, and therefore we spent a fair bit of time sorting this out. A great idea - might need better instructions or to check it's working 100% of the time."

What is a historic hotel like in London?
Historic hotels give guests an opportunity to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in London often preserve original elements like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in London have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Guests should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In London, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
