Qatar Airways has purchased the Sheraton Skyline hotel at Heathrow Airport as part of its expansion into the hotel sector.
The hotel will continue to be managed by Starwood under the Sheraton brand but will reportedly be renamed the Oryx Sheraton Skyline London Heathrow.
The Sheraton Skyline is the first hotel to be bought by Qatar Airways outside of Qatar, where it owns the five-star Oryx Rotana Hotel in Doha and runs the new Hamad International Airport Hotel.
The airline plans to add further hotels in North America, the UK and in other key locations.
