Worth bearing in mind - in terms of getting to/from the hotel, the T4 tube station and T4 HEX station are both closed and are likely to remain so until T4 itself reopens - which is likely to be 2022 at the earliest.
The current way to get there would be to get off at Hatton Cross or T5 and then get the 482/490 TfL bus - the buses are no longer free around LHR so you would have to tap in now.

Updates :- The walkway from T4 is closed currently and the Hoppa is currently complimentary from Heathrow subject to you showing the driver a copy of your Hotel booking conformation. The Hoppa goes from T5 at 43 mins past the hour and from the hotel back to T5 at 15 mins past the hour. The TFL busses go every 10/15 mins or so fromT5 but remember to get off at the stop AFTER T4 or you will have longer walk (possibly in the rain - its summer after all)

Further news from the front line and the free drinks in lieu the executive lounge (still) being closed has be further enhanced downwards. Recently you could have beer, wine , soft drinks and gin/rum/vodka/whiskey etc.. Well no longer, the hard liquor has been removed and the beer/wine choices pared back. The red was awful btw

Oh dear.
It seems that Hilton is rapidly trying to get below Premier Inn in my options!
Are lounges a thing of the past in the UK?
This hotel used to be a favourite and I would even consider it if needing to go into London by tube thanks to the benefits.
Now one might be better elsewhere subject to parking if flying from Heathrow.
I would love to know their excuses for keeping the lounge shut. Have they said when it will open?

Bizarre logic, what has T4 opening got to do with whether they reopen the lounge?
I can appreciate GentleGiant's comment, with the T5 premier inn consistently being available this year for about £30 I have found it harder to justify paying 3/4x more for Hilton hotels around LHR. Sure the PI is basic, but with the reductions at the Hilton T4, I don't think the premium for the Hilton hotel is justified atm.

Looking online both are available at circa £30 per night saving me about £160 over the two nights. That buys my dinner and a glass of wine or two that's actually drinkable.
Which of the two PI's is the easiest to get/to from T5 please?

Further to my stay last night and comments from GentleGiant and KARFA I pressed the F**k it button in my head and cancelled my next two bookings here on the 22nd and 30th of September with a view to switching to the Premier Inn next door or the one at T5.

As someone who travels light I have actually been walking between the PI T5 and T5 over the last few months. It takes about 20-30 mins based on your speed but when the weather is ok it’s a nice walk. However, I wouldn’t recommend it if you have lots of bags

The manager posted in a recent comment on review they 'trying to open the lounge late 2021'... The swimming pool has also been closed 1.5+ year plus.
Quite ridicilous indeed.
