The best family hotel at Heathrow? The Sheraton Skyline Hotel – Hotel and Location

The Sheraton Skyline is situated on a strip of a number of hotels at Heathrow. It overlooks one of the runways and is very close to the perimeter fence.

It’s a large hotel and inside it feels bright and modern and very comfortable. The Sheraton Skyline has 350 rooms, all perfectly sound proofed so although you’re minutes away from Heathrow it never feels like it.

Sleeps

We stayed in two interconnecting rooms (always my favourite) on the club floor.

The rooms were very large, the biggest at Heathrow according to the Sheraton and I could well believe it.

Each one had a large double bed that was really comfortable – we slept so well here.

There was also a nice seating area with sofa and desk.

Which in the children’s bedroom was converted into a sofa bed.

Each room had a large bathroom and dressing area with bath and shower and lots of lovely products.

These rooms were absolutely perfect for us with lots of room to store our luggage. There was space to spread out so the kids could watch some TV after the journey while we caught up on a few emails.

Food – The best family hotel at Heathrow? The Sheraton Skyline Hotel

We ate breakfast at the Sheraton Skyline Hotel which was a great way to start the day before our travels.

We had a great feast of cereals, eggs, pastries and juices.

The evening we arrived we also decided to eat in the Sheraton’s Sports Bar. This is a really cool space with a car coming out of the wall which the children thought was the best thing ever.

The food here was a great mix of dishes with nachos, salads and items from the grill.

The portions were generous and we all loved the selection on offer. It made for an easy way to end the day before we headed off the next morning. The fun setting made it all the more entertaining for the children.

There’s also an amazing sounding Indian restaurant, Madhu’s which I have got my eye on for next time we stay.

Bytes Restaurant is another eatery, offering light lunches and there’s a Starbucks in reception which is perfect for afternoon hot chocolates.

Parking

Parking at the Sheraton Skyline couldn’t be easier. Pull up outside and leave your car there for the duration of your trip.

You will need to pre-pay for this service but it’s very convenient. To get to your terminal there are a number of options – a taxi, the shuttle bus (which was £4.50 per adult when we stayed, children under 12 are free) or from across the road from the hotel there is a free public bus.

So depending on how pushed you are for time you can take your pick to get to your flight.

The Best Bits of The Sheraton Skyline Hotel – the best family hotel at Heathrow?

We love staying at Sheraton hotels because the service you get is always friendly. They also go above and beyond to make your stay happy.

The Sheraton Skyline definitely falls in to this category and we had such a lovely stay here. It really was the perfect start to our holiday.

Worth Bearing in Mind:

There’s really not much to say here as everything we needed was taken care of.

Child Friendly?

The Sheraton Skyline is most definitely child friendly. The kids adored the swimming pool which was in a lazy river style on the ground floor.

It was a heated pool, with a wine bar around the edges. So perfect for adults to relax and watch the little ones burn off some energy before the flight.
