expansion of the Ariel Hotel
Hillingdon Council approved the Ariel Hotel expansion, adding 113 rooms and a new apart-hotel building.
Hillingdon Council's Planning Committee granted approval in January 2026 for the expansion of the Ariel Hotel in Heathrow Villages. This decision allows for the addition of 113 hotel rooms and the construction of a new four-storey apart-hotel building, increasing the hotel's total guest rooms from 186 to 299.
The project involves the reconfiguration, alteration, and extension of the existing four-storey hotel, alongside the erection of the new apart-hotel building on the northern part of the site, replacing single-storey garages.
