John, you will be in the terminal within 5 minutes really. You take a in the sofitel hotel lift to the floor to the terminal walkway entrance you walk through get a lift at the end up to departure (down for arrivals) and it opens up in terminal. There is a video on you tube of the terminal, where the man comes from the left, right at the start of the film is where you will enter. I hope this helps you.

5 minute walk and you don't have to leave the building!

I think it is about 400 metres from your room. You proceed from the hotel along an indoor corridor. You take the lift up one floor ( I'm not sure) you step out of the lift to the road that delivers people to departures, turn hard left and left again and you are a few steps away from the entrance of terminal 5. That walk is all under cover. I was travelling with my 82 year old mum, so it took us 10 minutes to complete the journey. We visited terminal 5 twice on the day we arrived at the hotel so it was not too arduous. Thesurfaces are even and there are no stairs. It made wheeling cases easier.

5-10 min walk (indoors) - very convenient!

We were worried about thee same thing....seemed very daunting. it's actually quite close, a out 10 minutes walk, no more.

We stayed recently, it is very close to T5, ten minutes at the most, covered walkway really easy.

Hi - probably 5 minutes all indoors. Great location and so easy & convenient.

How do I get from terminal 5 to the sofitel hotel?
