My favorite airport hotel in the world is the Intercontinental O Hare . It s crazy nice, from the time you re picked up in a new black party bus instead of the standard beat up van.. to the lobby with an art gallery beautiful bathrooms a view of planes lining up to land plus decent restaurants attached to the property like a Capital Grill.
Now, the best and most important thing most of the time is convenience and proximity, so it s hard to beat the Sheratons in Frankfurt and Paris (though I don t especially like either property as a hotel ), the Sheraton Toronto airport , the Kempinski Munich, the Crown Plaza in Singapore. If the Novotel Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok had ever been connected to the terminal by tunnel as originally planned and promoted it would be just as up there, it s close but still requires a shuttle like the SkyCity Marriott.
I admit I was skeptical when I heard that the Freddie Awards would be held there this year. Last year we were at Citi Field , that s where the Mets play . We were going from a baseball stadium to a hotel ballroom, near Newark airport no less. (A pretty cool venue is back on the docket for next year.)
I ve never actually been to an especially nice airport hotel in the New York area. The Sheraton LaGuardia is serviceable and also near great Asian food. But how often do you need an overnight near LaGuardia? JFK is another matter entirely, until a few years ago every option consolidated airline ticket brokers was downright frightening. Back in 2007 I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn, it was clean. A few months back I was at the newer Sheraton, the room had a bed (about the best I can say for it). The old Holiday Inn has been refurbished and branded a Hilton, I ll be checking that out in the future, I m hoping that it s at least an improvement.
I checked in around 11:30am. I was told that they had blocked me into a club room that wasn t ready yet, but if I wanted my room right away I could have a room on a lower floor. consolidated airline ticket brokers That was fine by me, I d still have club access.
The club lounge was nicely appointed, comfortable. There was a refrigerator with soft drinks available all day, and an honor bar in the evening for cocktails. Evening canapés were fruit, cheese, and a couple of hot items. Breakfast was fruit, breads, and a couple of hot items. The coffee was perfectly drinkable.
@David space/availability, unfortunately. New York market has been really really tough. Plus the Sheraton is cheaper rooms and food. Trying to get the right mix, a tough thing in the NYC market. Will try to do better with the next one!
Am I going to regret that option later? While I would have liked to have gone straight to bed at a normal east coast time, the costs involved (two plane tickets back, overnight at a crappy JFK airport hotel) and the thought that we won t sleep *that* well at a crappy JFK airport hotel lead me to conclude that two cab rides (JFK-Penn Station, consolidated airline ticket brokers Union Station ~IAD) and two $50 Amtrak tickets were a decent substitution.
The Hyatt in the Orlando airport is one of my favorite airport consolidated airline ticket brokers hotels. Many of the uniformly good guest rooms have great views for plane geeks (some units even have balconies) and there s a fun terminal to explore. Even the rooms overlooking the airport atrium consolidated airline ticket brokers are nice, at least during the holidays, thanks to the sleekly consolidated airline ticket brokers ornate Christmas tree rising toward the glass ceiling. Other airport accommodations I appreciate: the InterContinental at JNB (a two minute walk from the terminal) has elegant service, a rooftop indoor pool and a good fitness center; and the Sofitel at Heathrow, while awkwardly designed, is more than serviceable.
I know you have not had much luck with the hotels near JFK but the new Hilton is great. I have stayed there twice in the last 2 months and the remodel they did is great, it looks brand new (it use to be a holiday inn). The front desk was fast, efficent, I was given access consolidated airline ticket brokers to the lounge and have had 2 very nice stays.
consolidated airline ticket brokers @Jethro: I ve stayed at the Logan Hilton, which is connected via a long walkway to the terminals (close consolidated airline ticket brokers walk to terminals A and E, a bit longer to the others). It s nice for a quick overnight to catch an early morning flight the next day. Not much to do in the area, but if you re staying at an airport hotel, that s probably not your priority.
