Radisson RED London Heathrow

BACKGROUND

This dual-branded Heathrow property opened in 2020 with Radisson RED and Radisson Hotels in two separate wings. The hotels received a £16 million investment and include 858 rooms plus extensive meeting facilities.

WHERE IS IT?

On the hotel-packed Bath Road, a ten-minute drive to Heathrow's terminals. You can get a Hotel Hoppa bus to terminals 2, 3 and 5 between 4.15am and 10pm daily, with a journey time of 20-30 minutes. The hotel has a partnership with WeKnowLondon, an electric car company, for punctual transfers to the terminals - my trip to Terminal 5 at 5am took ten minutes.

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

The modern hotel is well-signposted from the main road. Closer to the entrance, a glam driveway features a mirrored ceiling, with a terrace to the right.

The RED branding is evident throughout, with design featuring pops of red and nods to London - a red Mini Cooper car is parked by reception, while red phone boxes act as self-check-in and check-out booths.

The reception has a showbiz-like feel, with exposed filament light bulbs, while photography throughout the hotel showcases well-known British stars.

The rail thing - Why airlines and train companies are partnering to increase options for travellers on short journeys

An intercity flight connection operated by train would have been almost unthinkable in the early 1990s, but in 2024 it will increasingly be the default experience at many European hub airports. European nations have been among the world's leaders in adopting high-speed rail for short-distance trips, along with Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Adventures in Albania - From paranoid dictatorship to dream travel destination, why the Balkan nation is ready for its moment in the sun

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
