Layovers happen for many reasons, some planned and some, unfortunately, not , leaving many luxury travelers struggling to find a place to rest that doesn’t include a hard plastic bench giving off a not so faint smell of old French fries.
Luckily, airport hotels are responding to the demand for more luxurious accommodations and are slowly regaining the trust of frequent travelers who had long given up on the bare-bones offerings. Airport hotels are quickly gaining speed behind luxury hotels with drastic facelifts in everything from design and service, to amenities and food offerings. Services at these air-resorts include spa and fitness centers, pools and gardens, a choice of restaurants and bars, and A-list designer room motifs.
Acting more like resorts than quick sleeping solutions, the new and improved airport hotels are treating guests with the same high quality attention that they are receiving on their business class flights. Hotels are now catching up to ensure the luxury experience continues once travelers are off the plane and until they get back on. Sofitel’s newest location in the Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 will connect to British Airways. Grand Hyatt brings European culture and high-end technology to a massive complex in Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Getting a good night’s rest has grown to include things such as pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TV’s, spas and attentive service, which were once reserved for top destination resorts far from the airport terminal. Now travelers can rest easy knowing that all of these luxuries are available to them right outside the jetway door.
