Booking tips
How to get airport hotels right.
- Book by the hour for sub-12h stops (YOTEL, Aerotel)
- Always check whether you need to clear immigration
- Status with IHG, Marriott or Hilton pays off near airports
Pick by your layover length, not by brand loyalty alone. The right airport hotel turns a 9-hour wait into the best sleep of the trip.
