Accor's Heathrow Novotel among quarantine hotels

Although the government would not disclose which hotels had been selected for its quarantine scheme last week "for commercial reasons", it has been confirmed Accor's 166-bedroom Novotel London Heathrow Airport T1 T2 T3 (pictured) is one of the properties taking part.

Under new tighter border restrictions, from today (15 February) residents of the UK and Ireland arriving from a 'red list' of countries will be required to quarantine at a hotel under guard for 10 days. The stays, which also include mandatory testing on the second and eighth day and transport from the airport or port, cost £1,750 per person.
