Airport hotels — FAQ
How does FlightLogic rate airport hotels?
Editorial hotel reviews use the Verified Utility Index — connectivity, work environment, dietary options, ground logistics, and recreation — assessed by named editors. Star classes shown on curated cards (4-star and 5-star) are the official or brand classification, not a FlightLogic score.
Which airport hotels does FlightLogic recommend near UK hubs?
At Heathrow: Sofitel T5 (walkway), Hilton Garden Inn T2/T3, and Hilton / Crowne Plaza for T4. At Gatwick: Sofitel and Hilton on the South Terminal. At Manchester: Clayton, DoubleTree and Crowne Plaza. Live rates open on our stay partner’s site for each listed property.
How do the live-rate buttons work?
18 of the curated properties deep-link to the exact hotel on our stay partner’s site via our affiliate handoff — an advertising link (marked *) that may earn us commission at no extra cost to you. A few airside transit hotels (for example Dubai International Hotel) are sold differently and open a partner area search instead.
Are in-terminal hotels included?
Yes — several picks are airside or in-terminal (Dubai International Hotel, Oryx Airport Hotel Doha, Fairmont Vancouver Airport), letting you sleep between connections without clearing immigration.
