Exactly GK. Replying to all. First is that you are staying in a unique hotel that is an experience in itself. It is also right there, you can't stay any closer. No shuttle to get to Terminal 5, just a walk through a tube. if you have a runway view room you are looking out at the jets and I found that very entertaining. I wouldn't go there for 5 star rooms although ours was plenty nice, and I would not go there just for the food and I note the food and drinks were good. It is the overall unique experience matched to the location. I have never been in a hotel where I saw so many people taking pictures. Note that the hotel portion is brand new, not existing structure. The area for check in, places to eat and drink, as well as the shops is the old terminal.

For us we flew in on Alaska Airlines (T7) which was the next terminal over and an easy walk. Came in on a red eye and walked over and dropped our bags, had some coffee and went to the pool deck and relaxed. Had a bite to eat up there at the pool which was good and a couple cocktails and beers and just spent the day relaxing by the pool with a great view. Later dinner at the Lisbon Lounge. The hotel gym may be one of the best I have ever seen, if you are into that.

Check out the website, if you are into that part of history and all you will love it, if that is not important or you are trying to go on a budget it is probably not for you. I nerded out on the place, it exceeded my expectations and worth every dime to MJ and I.

Cheers!
