Accor now offers two budget hotels - ibis and ibis budget - rather than just one. close to terminal 5 at London Heathrow airport. Earlier this year, the French group took advantage of the takeover of a property belonging to the British Travelodge group to offer an ibis budget. The 297-room hotel was then completely renovated and redesigned to reopen with a dual offer. On the one hand, travellers will find 241 ibis budget rooms with very affordable rates, but they can also choose to reside in a 56-room ibis hotelSome can accommodate up to four people.

Each of these rooms has a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi is also available at the ibis budget - and contemporary design elements. For, in this renovation, the ibis hotel embraces the concept of urban interior design Plaza, already deployed in two other ibis recently opened in the UK, in Bridgewater in April and London Sutton in July.

Services, the two hotels share a bar and restaurantCharlie's Corner. In addition, convenient takeaway meals will be available for travellers whose aircraft takes off in the early hours. " It's yet another example of how these two successful brands can work together to enhance the offering for our customers, add value to our partners' investments and make a real difference to our business." said Philip Lassman, Accor's Vice President of Development for Northern Europe. With this new development, the French group is completing its network around the London hub, with the two new hotels joining the existing Sofitel, ibis Styles and another ibis.
