Trying to book a business one way ticket Vienna to JFK.
Delta premium select is almost as expensive as Business on American or British Airways.
There is a connection time disclaimer below their flight details that's scaring me.
If I'm carrying my roll on is 2 hours enough to get from Terminal 3 to 5?

Absolutely enough time. I usually do the terminal transition in 30-45 minutes. Follow flight connections signs to airside buses. Your comment about luggage confused me. If all on one ticket, luggage would transfer through on its own. Can you confirm this is one ticket?

BA has a disclaimer about tight connection times, you must be at gate 20 minutes before departure time, baggage might not make connection if less than 60 minutes but it also says that if you’re on a single ticket and the delay is their fault, they will rebook. There really shouldn’t be anything to stress about if using a single ticket.

The good news is you don't go through immigration and stay airside. Follow the Flight Connection signs and take the bus between terminals.
You will go through security but that's it.

Have you checked the Premier Inns? I would be very surprised if they weren't available at a much lower price. When are you planning to be there? That will affect hotel prices. And FTR, the Strand Palace is a 4☆ hotel with a high rating on booking.com, so I dont know why you would think it was a budget choice.

I detest changing in LHR and my minimum based on past experience woukd be 2.5 hours. But you should be able to do it faster.

Make sure you have your UK ETA. Only use official site or app.
I second suggestion for Premier Inn.

Jdos59 I guess I come from the wrong side of the tracks cause $500 for a 4☆ is nutty expensive in my goat farming world. But the 3☆ Premier Inns that are recommended are very reasonable at as little as $250 depending on which one and the date. Its London, deal with it 😄. Oh, have you decided how you are getting from LHR to the city and checked the prices. 😶
