  • Top 5 surprisingly good airport hotels

    When people talk about their favorite hotels, airport hotels rarely make the list. These hotels are usually places where you stay because you don’t have a choice, for example if your flight was delayed or if you want to catch a wink of sleep during a long layover.

    But although airport hotels don’t conjure up any great memories for many travelers, there are some airports in the world which can boast of some seriously amazing hotels which are downright better than what you might find in the city. So next time you have to spend the night at the airport, check if you haven’t ended up at at the location of one of the top 5 surprisingly good airport hotels.

    Regal Airport Hotel, Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong

    Airport hotels are rarely the epitome of comfort and luxury, but that’s precisely the case with Regal Airport Hotel, a place where you will be treated pretty much like royalty. The planes passing overhead will not steal your enjoyment of the outdoor pool and garden, or a relaxing spa treatment at the famous Om Spa’s bamboo cabanas. You can stop at the spa even if your overlay lasts for only a couple of hours.

    Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel, Vancouver, Canada

    One of the best things about the Fairmont is not the spotless, comfy and tastefully decorated rooms, but the fact that each guests, adults and children alike, get to use a complimentary BMW cruise bike.

    There are bike trails leading to Flight Path Park where you can watch planes take off, or to McDonald Beach Park where the hotel’s own beehives are kept (yes, they even have their signature honey).

    Grand Hyatt, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Texas

    You don’t usually expect any culinary masterpieces at airport hotel restaurants, but Grand Hyatt is a notable exception. You can dine on gourmet food at the hotel’s restaurant, and you can even take classes at the hotel’s cooking school, Epicurean Studio, established by chef Jean-Claude Plihon.

    Radisson Blu, Gardermoen Airport, Oslo, Norway

    Fitness addicts don’t have to skip their exercises while at Radisson, where you can find more than weights and lifts at the fitness center. The hotel has a great golf simulator with over 32 programs that will keep you entertained for hours whether you are a beginner or pro.

    Sofitel, London Heathrow, UK

    Sofitel is one of those hotels that is amazing by any standard, and will completely blow your mind if you are expecting a typical airport hotel. The hotel has a world-class spa, beautiful tea rooms, fine dining and a bar where you can sip drinks in the evening surrounded by elegant people.
