About this hotel
History is the standout feature at Ostrich Inn: a coaching inn dating to the 12th century, now run as a 4-star hotel with public transport reaching Heathrow Airport in 15 minutes. The rooms stay understated, favouring vintage character over anything glossy or corporate, which makes for a quieter, more textured stay than the glass-and-steel hotels closer to the runway. The pub at the centre of the building carries the atmosphere after dark, pouring pints for guests who want an evening that feels like a proper night out rather than an airport waiting room. Ye Olde George Inn and Old George, both a minute away on foot, add two more options for a last drink before an early flight. Rooms fill fast given the character on offer, so travellers drawn to atmosphere over modern uniformity should book ahead.
