airport hotels

Runway-adjacent overnight stays

Airport hotels are lodging facilities located at or near airports, designed primarily for travelers with early departures, late arrivals, or layovers.

They typically offer shuttle service to terminals and amenities geared toward short stays: We booked an airport hotel for our 6 a.m. flight.

Often more functional than luxurious, they serve convenience over destination appeal.
