I've stayed at an airport hotel for two years while on a consulting gig from monday-thursdays. It wasn't by choice, it was because the client had a negotiated rate with the airport. It was a nice hotel and all, but it is a bit tiring being so close to so many people who are in between the places they want to be.
This article wasn't clear what the person means by destination or why a business person would knowingly choose and airport hotel over a hotel right next to the client site.
I still think the main use case for airport hotel are travelers who miss a connection or flight and need a quick check in. Conferences and big groups might also be another use case because I'm sure airport hotels may give discounts for booking in advance since so many of their customers are people who check in last minute.
If the hotel is nice enough, would this be a good idea for weddings? No need for a bunch of people to get taxi's or rental cars to the destination?
I'm really not sure if the hotels need any other reason to build a hotel than to have an onsite location to house displaced passengers.
- syntheticnature 11y agoI once attended a wedding reception in a nice airport hotel. It was one of the nicer ones I attended, you could not hear the airport at all from the reception hall (which was, admittedly, in the basement), and valet parking was included if you stayed the night (I drove up, there was no direct flight so it did not make sense to fly, especially with the wedding proper being off-site). I suppose that highlights the issue versus a wedding: many people want to attend the ceremony, too, and depending on your preferences that might not be doable at the hotel, at which point transport is required (though it could be a rented bus).
