Attached to the arrivals hall of Terminal 3, this 82-room affair is also within handy walking distance of Terminal 2.

Closer to Terminal 2 (via a rather unglamorous walk through the T2 car park) and with access to Terminal 3 by a pedestrianised underpass, the standalone Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminals 2 and 3 puts you in the heart of the action.

Connected to the terminal via a covered walkway (it’s a five-minute walk), the Crowne Plaza London Heathrow T4 is geared towards business travellers, with meeting rooms and a staffed business centre among the amenities.

Sharing a building with the Crowne Plaza, this 457-room, budget-friendly option comes with breakfast as standard.

Meet Heathrow’s poshest residence, and the only one with direct access — in five minutes via a covered walkway — to Terminal 5.

The Hilton’s open-plan, ground-floor hub with a restaurant and bar is exactly what you want before or after being cooped up inside a plane.

A six-minute walk from the terminal is the Premier Inn at Terminal 4. This is one of the most affordable options, with the cookie-cutter facilities you’ll find at other Premier Inns, including a king mattress, a spacious work desk and tea and coffee.

A sprawling property with substantial event spaces, the pets-welcome Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport is conveniently located right next to the bus stop, making it easy to take advantage of those cheaper TfL fares.

Perfect for a longer stay, Staybridge Suites London Heathrow Bath Road is an aparthotel where the studios and apartments have fully equipped kitchens.

A low-key affair with a focus on both business and family travellers, Leonardo Hotel London Heathrow Airport is home to 230 modern, triple-glazed rooms and 15 meeting rooms.

Here’s an airport hotel to kick off your holiday in style: the uber-cool, design-led and 100 per cent cashless Radisson RED London Heathrow has its own health club with a heated pool, sauna and steam room to complement the well-equipped gym.

With a bus stop practically outside its door, Sheraton Skyline Hotel London Heathrow is another TfL-friendly property.

Opened in 2021, the 244-room Courtyard by Marriott London Heathrow Airport is a relatively recent arrival to the line-up so the interiors are suitably bright and modern, albeit a bit bland.

Among the budget-friendly options is this Ibis London Heathrow Airport, featuring 356 compact rooms that tick off the basics: a comfortable bed, TV and desk to work from.

Conveniently located next to the long-stay car park for Terminals 2 and 3, the Bath Road outpost of Premier Inn is also right next to the bus stop for TfL services.

Don’t confuse this property with the other Hilton Garden Inn on this list — Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Airport is within walking distance of Hatton Cross station, which offers easy access to all of the terminals, though Terminal 4 is the closest.
