Introduction: The Holiday Inn Heathrow Airport Hotel
Sipson Way/Bath Road opened in August 2000 and is located close to the main
vehicle entrance into London Heathrow Airport terminals 1,2 and 3 (terminal 4 is
on the opposite side of the hotel). The hotel is also very close to the M4
junction with the airport road. The M4 links up with M25 which in turn link out
to the M40, M23 and M11 motorways. The hotel is away from the bulk of hotels
that are located on the Bath Road (which is also part of the A4 dual carriageway
that leads into London) being to the West of the main entrance. Within 400 yards
is the Magpie pub which is a local landmark as its located by the entrance to
the airport as you come of the A4. The pub serves cooked meals. Within half a
mile is a MacDonald's restaurant (also on the Bath Road and to the East) and the
Heathrow Visitor centre. You will also a find the
Heathrow bowling ally with another MacDonald's incorporated into the
building within 1 mile to the East of the A4. Other local attractions include
Osterley Park House (4.6 miles), set in 300 acres a collection of the works of
architect Robert Adam. Within 10 miles are three major UK attractions,
Thorpe Park
(5.6 miles),
Legoland (6.8 miles) and
Chessington World of Adventures (9.9 miles). This is also a popular area for
golf courses with 7 within 3 miles. The nearest is the Heathpark Golf Club at
