Holiday Inn Express T5 with breakfast near Heathrow Airport

Holiday Inn Express hotels are known and trusted the world over and the refurbished T5 has just the same mix of quality and affordability, but with a twist. As well as the same reasonably priced family restaurant that all Expresses have, the T5 also offers a fancy Italian restaurant that some guests think is better than a certain famous chef's restaurant in central London! Tratts Italian even offers stone-baked pizzas to take away up to your room. Our reviewer, Neil Sheppard, has stayed at a lot of Holiday Inns, but he said this was the most luxurious of all of them. Book now and make the T5 the perfect start to your holiday.

The highlight of the T5 is clearly the fancy Tratts Italian restaurant. From rustic bread and oils to stone-baked pizzas made fresh in front of you in the restaurant's own oven, the food in Tratts is sure to impress. In fact, the hotel told us that some of their guests rate it above some well-known West End restaurants! Tratts is open from 18:00 to 22:00 daily and even offers a takeaway service.
Elsewhere, the hotel's Great Room restaurant offers an informal atmosphere to grab some lunch or lighter meals.
