InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced plans to open a dual branded Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites at Heathrow Airport.
Due to open in 2018, the 190-room Staybridge Suites property will be built alongside the new 433-room Holiday Inn and will be located on Bath Road, close to the main entrances to terminals one, two and three at the airport.
Holiday Inn London – Heathrow Bath Road will feature the brand’s signature ‘open lobby’, which combines the front desk, lobby, restaurant, bar, lounge area and business centre into one open space.
Meanwhile Staybridge Suites London – Heathrow Bath Road will feature spacious studios and one bedroom suites that will include kitchens, TVs, work areas, air conditioning and free wireless internet.
The two hotels, which IHG will operate under a franchise agreement with Bathroad Corp Sarl, will also contain seven meeting rooms, an on-site gym each and more than 300 parking spaces.
Philip Lassman, development director of UK & Ireland at IHG, said: “We’re delighted to have established a new partnership with Bathroad Corp Sarl and to be working on this project together.
“We’re confident the combination of brands, coupled with the hotels’ great location; will make these two hotels the number one choice for business and leisure guests staying at Heathrow.”
IHG currently has 309 hotels in the UK – including five open near Heathrow Airport – and a further 25 hotels in the pipeline.
