The Best San Juan Airport Hotels | SJU

The Airport Hotel Guru — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 23:11:52 +0000

San Juan’s airport is blessed with several great beach resorts near the airport. If you are heading to Puerto Rico for a vacation a good strategy is to base yourself at one of these at the start and/or end of your trip. However, if you are looking for a more utilitarian choice SJU has you [...]

The Best Orlando Airport Hotels | MCO

The Airport Hotel Guru — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:56:55 +0000

Orlando’s International (MCO) routinely ranks as one of the 30 busiest in the world. That, combined with a location relatively convenient to Orlando’s downtown and area attractions, might lead you to believe that this airport is well served by public transportation. It is not. Taxis, shared shuttles and rental cars are the best options. If [...]

The Best Las Vegas Airport Hotels | LAS

The Airport Hotel Guru — Sat, 23 May 2009 03:01:04 +0000

The Las Vegas airport hotel scene isn’t like that in most other cities — there aren’t a cluster of hotels around the airport catering to business travelers and offering free shuttles to the terminal. In fact, there’s only hotel fitting that description: the Doubletree Club. Fortunately, the mega-resorts of the Las Vegas strip are only [...]

The Best Ft. Lauderdale Airport Hotels | FLL

The Airport Hotel Guru — Sat, 16 May 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Located a 45-minute drive (when there’s no traffic) up the coast from Miami, the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood airport is smaller and less glitzy than it’s Miami MIA airport cousin. Flights to and from FLL is also generally less expensive than MIA. And, if you are heading out on a cruise, FLL could also be more convenient. [...]

The Best Miami Airport Hotels | MIA

The Airport Hotel Guru — Fri, 15 May 2009 21:56:08 +0000

If you are going to be in Miami for only a night or two, and if you aren’t staying in South Beach, then choosing airport area accommodations make sense. The MIA airports provide the best value in the city. And the airport area is close to downtown. An airport hotel is especially suggested if you [...]

The Best Newark EWR Airport Hotels

The Airport Hotel Guru — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:44:00 +0000

As the crow (or airplane) flies EWR airport—outside of Newark, New Jersey—is closer to Manhattan than New York City’s JFK airport is and almost as close as LaGuardia. However, being separated from Manhattan by either a traffic-filled tunnel or bridge crossing, the commute between the city and Newark airport can be a frustrating affair. Staying [...]

The Best New York-LaGuardia LGA Airport Hotel

The Airport Hotel Guru — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:59:40 +0000

LaGuardia Airport is relatively convenient to Manhattan. If you live in New York City it is unlikely that you’ll need a hotel to catch an early morning flight. However, the airport is notorious for flight delays. In 2008, an astonishing 43% were more than 30 minutes late taking off from, or landing at, LaGuardia! And [...]

The Best San Francisco SFO Airport Hotel

The Airport Hotel Guru — Sun, 03 May 2009 03:40:17 +0000

Traffic on route 101, the main highway leading to SFO airport, is bone gnarling bad. Long backups are routine anytime vaguely close to rush hour, but the Airport Hotel Guru has been bumper to bumper on the 101 at 3am as well. Given that, staying at an SFO hotel is useful if you are leaving [...]

The Best New York JFK Airport Hotels

The Airport Hotel Guru — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:30:40 +0000

It can take at least an hour (and often more, depending on traffic) to travel between Manhattan and JFK airport. If you have an early morning or late night flight getting a hotel out by the airport is suggested. Best Overall JFK Airport Hotel Fairfield Inn by Marriott JFK Airport Airports around JFK are notoriously overpriced. Among them, [...]

Stockholm (ARN)

The Airport Hotel Guru — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:22:51 +0000

Stockholm’s Arlanda airport is blessed with two hotels connected to the terminals: one luxury and one budget. Coming this December there will be a third at-the-airport hotel that, if not better than the two existing options, promises to at least be more interesting. Overall Best Stockholm Airport Hotel: Radisson SAS SkyCity Hotel The modern Radisson SAS Sky City [...]

Bangkok (BKK)

The Airport Hotel Guru — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 23:00:21 +0000

Bangkok’s new airport, Suvarnabhumi (pronounced, a little surprisingly, “su-wan-na-poom”), has the same limited selection of quality hotel options that its old airport had. This is a shame since Bangkok is the sort of place where staying at a hotel by the airport can be really useful — many long-haul flights leave very early in the [...]

News: Stockholm To See The World’s First Airplane Airport Hotel

The Airport Hotel Guru — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:52:01 +0000

Starting this December, if your stuck at the Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport overnight because your airplane was delayed you’ll be able to spend the night — in an airplane. Swedish hotelier Oscar Diös is converting a Boeing 747 into a 25-room, 86-bed airport hotel. Most of the rooms in the Jumbo Hostel will not be large (6×3 [...]
