The Arora Group has announced it has been granted planning permission to develop a new hotel at London Heathrow.

The new hotel is part of the ongoing strategy to focus on larger assets with high revenue potential, and the group has been granted permission to develop a new hotel at the airport with direct access to Terminal 2.

The new hotel, which will have 298 bedrooms, a restaurant and a bar, will help to improve passenger experience by giving them instant access to the airport from their doorstep.

It will be the first hotel in the Central Terminal Area which is set to undergo a state of the art transformation as part of a new look Heathrow.

Stephen Wilkinson, Heathrow Property Director, said: “This hotel is a further step in Heathrow’s strategy to provide the world’s best airport facilities and services for our passengers.

“The new hotel will be directly linked to Terminal 2, the Queen’s Terminal and we are confident it will deliver an amazing experience for hotel guests travelling from Heathrow.

“We are proud of our strategic partnership with the Arora Group and this is our second recent terminal-linked hotel development, following the new 750 bed dual hotel at Heathrow’s Terminal 4, which is due for completion in 2017.”
