It's stylish, sophisticated and super-luxurious, but you probably already knew that about the Hilton Heathrow Terminal 5. The two top-quality restaurants, delightful spa and plush, soundproofed rooms won't come as a surprise either - it's a Hilton, after all. But what may come as a surprise is that it's only just over a mile from terminal 5. As you stroll through the 13 acres of landscaped grounds, or enjoy the view of the river from the bars, you're not about to jet off on holiday - you're already there.

Reasons to book

• • Stylish and sophisticated rooms with triple glazing and king-size beds.

Dining

We envy anyone who gets to eat dinner at the Hilton Heathrow terminal 5. The hotel has two restaurants, and if we were staying, we'd probably end up eating two dinners.
The Indian restaurant, Mr Todiwala's Kitchen, is run by chef Cyrus Todiwala, who owns the award-winning Cafe Spice Namaste in London. He's been described as a genius and the London restaurant as offering London's finest Indian food. Not much of a name to live up to, then.
We would say that The Gallery's British menu offers something less exotic. Except it doesn't. The menu, which is split into categories like 'market dish of the day' and 'spit roasts', evokes freshness and tradition, but many of the dishes have an innovative twist which makes them hard to resist. Even if you're not a salad person, who could fail to be enticed by black pudding and apple salad with curly endive, lamb's lettuce and sherry oil?
Difficult as it was to decide, we think we'd start with the flaked trout fish cake with poached free-range egg, spinach and parsley cream, before moving onto the lemon-and-thyme-butter basted corn-fed chicken with bread sauce and gaufrettes, and finishing with the apple and pear crumble with real custard.
Both restaurants are open until 10.30pm, and The Gallery has a children's menu.
The hotel's two bars both overlook the Thames and serve bar food, cocktails and coffees as well as all the usual drinks. The River Bar menu includes a selection of sausages from around the world - think grilled merguez with mint tzatziki salad on olive bread - while the Gallery Bar serves British tapas. The Gallery Bar is open until 11pm, and the River Bar shuts at midnight.
Cakes, muffins, pastries and sandwiches, along with hot and cold soft drinks, are on offer in Caffe Musetti - and again, there are some unusual combinations. We're intrigued by the salt beef, sauerkraut, sweet onion and Emmental sandwich.
For breakfast, you can either order from the a la carte menu or tuck into the English and continental buffet. You can also get a packed breakfast 24 hours a day from Caffe Musetti.

Check-in

You can check in from 3pm. You must check out by noon. If you want to check in earlier or check out later, you can arrange this with the hotel.
