What to know
Sofitel London Heathrow is the guide’s pick for the best terminal-connected hotel at Terminal 5: it is the only hotel directly attached to Terminal 5, a five minute stroll along a covered walkway, and Accor calls it the only luxury hotel connected to Terminal 5 (LHR guide, https://airport-accommodation.com/lhr-airport-hotels/).
It has 605 bedrooms and suites, a spa, and is 21 minutes to Paddington by Heathrow Express, per Accor — and that walkway is the whole reason to pay £220 to £400, especially for a Terminal 5 flight before 7am, when no other option removes as much risk from the morning (LHR guide).
