We’ve all been there: an early morning flight, overnight layover, or a sudden delay or cancellation means you’re forced to spend the night in an airport hotel. Whether you’re booking a last-minute room and hoping for the best, or scheduling a stay ahead of time to avoid the hassle of arranging cars or public transportation the morning of, it’s inevitable that at some point you’ll find yourself checking into an airport hotel.
When booking an airport hotel, convenience, location, and practicality are usually top of mind, but that doesn’t mean you need to completely forgo style and design. There are many airport hotels out there that are absolutely incredible and worth a visit on their own—even if they’re not a scheduling necessity. From New York City‘s very own TWA to a Marriott in Manila, these airport hotels are some of the best in the world.
