Which Airports Have Transit Hotels?
You've got a long airport layover, and all you want to do is sleep, but stretching out on a bench with your carry-on luggage as a pillow just isn't going to cut it. You're longing for a real bed - and perhaps even a shower before your next flight - but you don't want to clear immigration and customs. Well, if you happen to be killing time at one of the 8 airports below, you're in luck. Each of these facilities has hotel or day rooms where you can lay your weary head without exiting the secure area of the airport. Most transit hotels rent rooms for flexible chunks of time, from a few hours to a full day.
