Airport hotels are no longer viewed as last-resort options, but rather as luxurious and comfortable accommodations. In fact, Skytrax, a star rating program for airlines and airports, now releases an annual ranking of the best airport hotels around the world. Two U.S. airports made the global top 10, with one reaching number three.
To determine the rankings, Skytrax reviewed guest surveys and ranked the hotels based on overall experience, access to and from the airport, cleanliness, in-room amenities, quality of facilities and restaurants, and value for money. The TWA Hotel in NYC’s JFK International Airport ranked number three in the world.
The top five North American airport hotels according to Skytrax’s rankings are all located in the United States except for one – The Fairmont at Vancouver International Airport in Canada. The other global top-ranked airport hotels were Hyatt Regency Shenzhen Airport in China at number two and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore.
