The shovels were out for the ground breaking ceremony for the first hotel to be built in the central terminal area at Heathrow Airport.
As the airport continues to undergo its transformation, a new 355-room hotel will be directly linked to Terminal 2 - The Queen's Terminal.
The Arora Group celebrated the momentous occasion with guests of honour husband and wife TV presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on Monday (May 22).
The event was also attended by stakeholders, and marked the start of the hotel build by the Arora Group's construction division Grove Developments.
The hotel will also feature two food and beverage outlets, five function rooms for meetings and events, boosting the Arora Heathrow portfolio to six hotels by 2018.
It forms part of the Group's 1,110 new hotel bedrooms currently under development at Heathrow alone including a dual-brand 300 bedroom Crowne Plaza® and 455 Holiday Inn Express® at London Heathrow Terminal 4.
Among its existing airport hotels in west London are Arora’s Sofitel London Heathrow at Terminal 5, Renaissance London Heathrow and Holiday Inn London Heathrow T5.
