We've just discovered that our trip through Heathrow on May 1 is
going to involve a six-hour layover -- after an overnight flight --
before continuing on to Athens.
Our travel agent suggested, probably because of our advanced age,
that we might want to book into a hotel for a few hours. Are there
any hotels right in the airport at Heathrow, or adjacent, similar to
the Hilton at the Rome airport?
Or any others close by anyone would care to recommend?

You would really have to question whether it would be worth the effort and
cost. Having to grab shuttles and all the extra walking about would tire
you further.

A six hour layover would only equate to at best about a three hour stop in a
hotel, after you go through customs, immigration, a shuttle bus, check in
and check out procedures at the hotel, then have to check in well in advance
of your ongoing flight to Athens. If your plane is late arriving (you often
do get stacked coming into Heathrow because it's so congested) then you've
even less time.

My advice would be to just find a seat in a quiet corner of the airport
lounge and rest awhile.
