AIRPORT HOTELS

Airport hotels, as the name suggests, are located in the precincts of an airport, usually situated a distance away from the city. They cater mostly to transient airline passengers who may be catching another flight to complete their journey. Such guests need only a room to sleep before the next flight. Airport hotels also cater to the passengers with cancelled or delayed flights. Rather than wait at the airport, airline provided hotel facilities. Transient airline crews, too, find the airport hotels convenient between flights. The airport hotels have a 24-hour coffee shop for quick meals. It is unlikely that these hotels will have gourmet restaurants and entertainment unless patronized by the local populace. They would, however, have large coffee shops to accommodate a full flight of transient passengers and crew. Airport hotels may provide an all purpose convenience store and a few emporiums with local arts and crafts for passengers who really do not have time for city shopping. Airport hotels must have sound wake-up call services and perhaps a cyber café. Airport hotels will be linked to airport air traffic schedules for passengers to check their flight arrival and departure timings. A shuttle coach service is essential to the airport and left luggage facilities for those who have a little more time to visit the city. Airport hotels are simple in structure possibly two floors and have the least frills.
