The property is associated with Edwardian Hotels and has been regarded by that group as its flagship hotel. Its history reflects the evolution of a west London airport property through several identities: it opened in 1960 as the Skyway Hotel, was acquired by Edwardian Hotels in 1989, refurbished and renamed Edwardian International, and adopted the Radisson Edwardian Heathrow name in 1990 before later becoming Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow Hotel. The hotel is positioned around the needs of airport travelers, business guests, conference delegates, event organizers, and visitors seeking a full-service stay near Heathrow. Its design is described as Edwardian in character, using features such as Persian rugs, brass-railed staircases, chandeliers, and hand-painted hardwood furnishings.

Food and beverage facilities include Annayu Restaurant, which combines classic and contemporary Indian cuisine, Steak & Lobster Restaurant, and Bijou Lounge Bar. The property also includes the Pegasus Health Spa and Gym, with beauty treatments and a dance studio, as well as retail amenities including a jewellery store and a newsagents. These facilities support the hotel's positioning as more than a short-stay airport base, giving guests dining, leisure, and wellness options on site. A major part of the hotel's business is meetings and events. It operates as a conference centre with 43 rooms allocated to conferences, exhibitions, conventions, press conferences, weddings, and related functions. The largest event room can accommodate up to 500 guests. The hotel has also hosted specialist conventions, including a Dawn of the Dead convention from 25 to 27 March 2005 and the Science Fiction Easter Convention from 21 to 24 March 2008. The property received external recognition in 2010 when Business Traveller magazine voted it the best airport hotel in the world. Its combination of proximity to Heathrow, substantial event capacity, extensive guest facilities, and a distinctive Edwardian-inspired interior has defined its role within the Edwardian Hotels portfolio. Publicly available reference material does not establish a separate corporate listing, ticker, founder, or current individual executive leadership for the hotel itself.
History
Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow Hotel is a west London airport hotel located on Bath Road in Hayes, close to Heathrow Airport. The building opened in 1960 under the name Skyway Hotel. Its original identity reflected the property's relationship with the growing air-travel economy around Heathrow and its role in serving passengers and visitors using the airport. Edwardian Hotels acquired the property in 1989. Following refurbishment, the hotel was renamed Edwardian International, marking its integration into the Edwardian portfolio and a repositioning of the property within a broader full-service hotel group. In 1990 it became the Radisson Edwardian Heathrow hotel. The name was later updated to Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow Hotel as the Radisson Blu branding was adopted. The hotel is considered Edwardian Hotels' flagship property. Its identity combines an airport-oriented location with an Edwardian-inspired interior style. Described decorative elements include Persian rugs, brass-railed staircases, chandeliers, and hand-painted hardwood furnishings. The accommodation comprises 459 rooms, including 294 standard rooms, 101 deluxe rooms, 47 single rooms, and 17 suites. Marble bathrooms are associated with the guest-room design described in the available reference material. Over time, the property developed a broad service offer beyond overnight accommodation. Its dining venues include Annayu Restaurant, focused on classic and contemporary Indian cuisine, Steak & Lobster Restaurant, and Bijou Lounge Bar. The Pegasus Health Spa and Gym provides fitness, spa, beauty, and dance-studio facilities. A jewellery store and newsagents provide additional on-site retail services.
