Premier Inn, the UK's largest budget hotel chain, has opened its biggest airport hotel yet with over 400 bedrooms at London's Heathrow Terminal 5.

Premier Inn Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 opened its doors to the public on 6th February 2012, bringing a total of £29million to the local economy through tourism and trade.

The new Heathrow hotel Terminal 5 has also created 82 jobs opportunities for people in the local area, with 79% of positions been filled by people returning to work after long-term unemployment.

Located just one mile away from Heathrow terminal 5, it is in an ideal location for those flying from the terminal. The site includes a Costa Coffee shop, Thyme restaurant and an outdoor eating area. And for those guests with electric motors who need to top up their motor the hotel also has electric car charge points.

Dean Madge, Cluster General Manager of Premier Inn Hounslow comments: "We are delighted to be opening a new hotel so close to London's Heathrow Terminal 5. Our hotel is in a prime location for those looking to stay somewhere before or after a long flight, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming guests next month."

Each bedroom caters for up to two adults and two children (aged 15 and under) and includes an en-suite bathroom; a king size bed; remote control TV with Freeview; tea/coffee making facilities, and a spacious desk area with WiFi Internet access. The site will also offer the All You Can Eat 'Premier Breakfast'.

Premier Inn offers all guests a no quibble 'Good Night Guarantee', which means if customers are not 100% satisfied with their stay they will get their money back.
