The Radisson Edwardian Hotel

Odyssey 2010 will be held at the five-star Radisson Edwardian Hotel, at Heathrow Airport near London.


About the hotel

The Radisson Edwardian Heathrow has hosted a large number of conventions, including Orbital in 2008 and Evolution, the 1996 Eastercon. The hotel is undergoing a rolling programme of improvements and we anticipate that a number of key changes will have taken place by the time hotel hosts Odyssey in 2010. In particular, the air conditioning system in the Royal suite and other key areas will be moderised over the next six months. The hotel has over 450 rooms, a luxury health spa, complimentary wireless Internet access, and a large car park.

The Radisson Edwardian is only minutes away from Heathrow Airport and so has very good transport links. It is close to the M4 and M25 motorways, and it is within the Heathrow Freeflow Free Fare Zone, which gives free-of-charge access to two nearby London Underground stations, and to Heathrow Airport Central Bus Station.

In addition to the hotel's own restaurant and brasserie, there are two other restaurants withing walking distance, and several more in nearby Hounslow. We will have Real Ale in the con bar, and there will be mushrooms for breakfast.
