Airport hotels are hotels that offer accommodation and, are located outside or inside the terminal, but on the airport’s property. They may even be a few kilometres from the airport itself but provide airport shuttle services. … Here is a quick list of things which make an Airport Hotel different from Normal hotels.

• Airport hotels target airline passengers who have overnight layovers or suffer cancelled flights, business clientele, airline staff and any travellers whose business does not take them far from the airport area.

• The airport hotels, unlike normal hotels, charge their guests by the hour instead of daily or nightly charges. They, however, have different rates depending on the level of their quality.
• They are located in the airport terminal or off the terminal with a shuttle service which transports the guests between the airport and the hotel.
