With great connections for central London - the Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow Airport |
Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow is situated away from the majority of the Heathrow hotels at the south-east tip of the airport by Hatton Cross Underground Station and the British Airways maintenance areas.
Most hotels at Heathrow have a tedious and expensive hotel shuttle between the hotel and the public transport to central London. The exceptions are the hotels connected to Terminals 4 and 5 which you pay a price premium for and are some of the most expensive hotels at Heathrow.
The Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow is arguably the best hotel to base yourself at Heathrow if sightseeing in London.
Underground trains offer cheap transport to London from Hatton Cross Underground Station next to the hotel. Underground trains run every 5 minutes to central London from Hatton Cross all day and evening, running 24x7 at the weekends.
The Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow is one of five Hilton branded hotels at Heathrow, the other Hilton hotels are the Hilton Terminal 4, Hilton Terminal 5 , DoubleTree Hilton Heathrow and the new for 2019 Hilton Garden Inn T2.
The Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow is one of the few hotels on the south side of the airport where Terminal 4 is located. Hotels are very sparse here, the only other hotels are clustered around Terminal 4, connected by covered walkways.

The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel Heathrow is quite isolated in an area where most of the surrounding buildings are commercial, serving the airport.
The big advantage the Hilton Garden Inn has over nearly all other Heathrow Hotels is that it is located within a short walk of the London Underground. You can take the journey into central London, relatively quickly and cheaply as a result, although the journey takes around an hour.
Underground trains from Heathrow run until around midnight.
