Airport hotels are known for their convenience. Because of their close proximity, guests can never worry about missing their flights. Some are actually adjacent to the airports themselves, and shuttle service is most commonly provided to provide an extra service to their guests.

But some airport hotels, among all others, stand out in being the best in the world. For two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016, the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore holds the spot for being the best airport hotel in the world. The other top 4 best airport hotels are (in consecutive order): Regal Airport Hong Kong, Pullman Guangzhou Airport, Hilton Munich Airport and Sofitel Heathrow.

What do these hotels have in common to bag the honor of being the very best? Well, the awards are based on an accumulation of guest surveys around the world. They have to score top marks on certain features like the warmth and friendliness of the hotel staff, the quality of food, the quality of leisure, fitness and spa facilities, and much more.

The Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is greatly enjoyed by guests because of their excellent customer service. The rate per night is a bit higher than others, but the quality of service and other hotel benefits are as equal to the amount guests pay for a pleasant stay, if not more. Guests particularly enjoy the Azur Restaurant where open concept kitchens are open for guests all day to enjoy delicious Eastern and Western Dishes.

In Regal Airport Hong Kong, guests love how the hotel is connected to the passenger terminal of Hong Kong International Airport by an enclosed link bridge, making the airport easily accessible upon check out. The reviews are mostly about the efficiency of the staff and making sure the guests achieve the most comfortable stay they could probably get. Their executive lounge is also a one-off, according to guests.

Pullman Guangzhou Airport, Hilton Munich Airport, and Sofitel Heathrow are not trailing far behind. To be included in the top 5 best airport hotels in the world means the service they provide for airline passengers is most outstanding.

Since the majority of the people who stay in airport hotels are customers who just got off a long flight, airline passengers who got delayed, or the like, it means their expectations for hotel service are quite high.

These hotels delivered a golden seal of excellence in terms of hospitality, which means every stay is worthwhile. So next time you're checking in at an airport hotel, consider the top properties to check into for the most comfortable and pleasant experience.
