Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow hotel review

a white building with a flag

Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow London was my last hotel night of 20 nights in Europe last month. Our July 2017 trip included four stays at Club Carlson properties to earn two Free Friday nights with their current promotion running to Sep 30, 2017.

I booked a one night AAA flexible cancellation room rate at 86.40 GBP or about $112 USD.

This was my second stay at the Radisson Blu LHR. Last summer I received a free night here in July 2016 when I took a voluntary bump on United Airlines.

Arrival: Hotel Hoppa H3 LHR airport hotels shuttle bus cost 9 GBP per person for round trip tickets on the bus (8 GBP for advance purchase). We almost went for a taxi, but I changed my mind when the driver told me it would be about 15 GBP for the two mile ride.

The Hoppa H3 shuttle bus was waiting at the Terminal 2 shuttle stop when we arrived. Nice to see since it was 11pm local time and we had started our day in Slovakia, flew to London Stansted from Brno, CZ and had just completed an 80 minute bus ride on National Express from STN to LHR airport.

While the room was comfortable and quiet for the night, the real charm of this hotel are the lobby and conference floor areas.

Two times I have stayed at this hotel with the same exterior view of  the hotel parking lot on the side facing McDonald’s.

In the stairway, I saw the interior facing rooms and inner view at the hotel.

The lighted and kind of out of focus sign in my photo is for Annayu, the hotel’s Indian dinner daily 18:30-22:30 restaurant between lobby and elevators to guest floors. The main restaurant is right of the main lobby when entering the hotel front doors.

Steak & Lobster Restaurant is a daily noon to 10:30pm restaurant and also the space 6:00-10:30 for morning buffet or continental breakfast.

Bijou Lounge Bar 10:30am-1:00am. Last summer I ate at the bar when I arrived late from LHR after a day spent walking around London on my unplanned United flight layover.

In the lobby by the doors to Steak & Lobster is an internet lounge.
