If you are flying into another airport within the UK there are buses and trains that run from these airports into Heathrow airport when you can then get a bus to the hotel.

There is a bus service called "The Hoppa Bus" that operates in the Heathrow area taking people from the airport to various hotels nearby. This service runs from all of the Heathrow terminals including the new Terminal 5 (which has a separate bus service). If you are arriving into Terminal 4 you can get the Heathrow Connect train that is free of charge to the main Terminals (1, 2 and 3) where you can get the Hoppa Bus, the train comes approximately every 15 minutes.

This bus takes you directly into the hotel car park and drops you off right outside reception. This is where you will get back onto the bus to return to the airport.

The Hoppa Bus costs £4 for a single fare, £0.50 for a child aged 3-15, and children under 3 are free. You can pay for your tickets on the bus itself (the driver will give you change), but tickets can also be purchased from machines at the airport which will also take debit & credit cards.
