It was billed as a towering 182-room Hilton hotel with state of the art facilities and easy access to and from Heathrow Airport.
But five years after the Hampton by Hilton opened in the leafy west London suburb of Ealing, the only UK 'arrivals' now coming through the doors are asylum seekers who say they are loving life inside the modern hotel funded by the British taxpayer.
The four-star hotel, located on the bustling Uxbridge Road, appears to have served largely as accommodation for key workers when it first opened during the pandemic and now as one of Britain's many migrant hotels.
Last week, it was at the centre of a scandal after an Egyptian migrant staying there was jailed for raping a woman in Hyde Park.
Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, preyed on the vulnerable woman as she was walking home from a night out in November 2024 and lured her to a secluded spot before attacking her.
