  • What kind of amenities can I expect?
    • Sure, they’re not tucked into some cozy corner of a city—but I’ve found that some airport hotels more than make up for that with comfort and perks. You’ll probably come across:
      • Luxury spas (yes, I’ve squeezed in a massage between flights!)
      • Fantastic restaurants that rival downtown spots
      • Designer décor that makes the space feel upscale
      • Unique runway views—watching planes land while sipping a cocktail? Not bad at all.
  • Why should I consider booking an airport hotel?
    • I’ll admit—you won’t be strolling through a quaint neighborhood after dinner. But what you will get is a great night’s sleep, thanks to soundproofed windows and zero traffic stress.
    • And let’s be honest, waking up and knowing you’re already at the airport? That alone has saved me more than one missed flight. If you like stress-free travel, you’ll probably love it as much as I do.
