Heathrow T3 park, stay night and fly

[MegCleary]

Where is the closest to T3 we can drive, park, stay the night and jet off in the morning. Haven’t been to Heathrow for donkeys years and am all of a muddle. Help wise ones.

Bump

The new aerotel is attached to T3, not sure if it has parking but you could always use the regular parking, that would be super easy when you get back as you wouldn’t need to go back to a hotel. The Hilton at T4 has parking but you would need to take the tube to T3. It’s not the most exciting hotel but perfectly comfortable and I’ve stayed there a lot (used to arrive late and crash there before venturing onwards to my parents when I lived abroad). There’s also a Sofitel at T5 but it was awful when I stayed there so wouldn’t recommend it! There are no doubt more offsite options too with shuttle buses but I haven’t stayed at any! My usual flight home when I lived abroad was a late landing so always used to crash o

Sorry slightly garbled post, hopefully you get the drift!

Very helpful, I was looking at the premier inn but couldn’t figure out the parking!

The Marriott close to T3 is a nice hotel, we stay there and then take the car first thing to the short stay at T3 for meet and greet parking. They then park it offsite and you ring once you’ve collected your luggage Upon return and then they bring it back to there for you.
I always book it through the Holiday Extras website, cost us £209 for the hotel for DH,Dd (15) and myself for 1 night plus 2 weeks parking. This was 3 weeks ago, so a recent price.
We also managed a dip in the pool and dinner at Carluccio’s ( restaurant at the hotel) the night before the holiday.

@Nearlyadoctor thank you so much, that sounds amazing

Any other suggestions/ it’s looking like £300 for the night and parking and that may be a bit of a stretch!

I work at Heathrow, and I would say since travel resumed after lockdown the price of everything has doubled. I was quoted nearly £100 for 4 day’s parking earlier in the year, at an off-peak time, and that was with a workers’ discount! It would have been half that before. £300 fir a night in a hotel and a week’s parking (I assume that’s what you were looking at?) actually sounds about right.

Skypark secure - we just got back from Heathrow yesterday and they were by far the cheapest.

You could perhaps book somewhere a bit away from Heathriw and still do the meet and greet?

We used Premier Inn in the past, sleep and then did meet and greet directly in the airport car park.

We now use a cab, still getting up in the middle of the night but at least we don't drive and the costs are around 1/2 of the park and drive.
