I was driving in from another Mexican city with my family and didn’t want to rush it–or leave anything to chance. I just stayed here this month before a flight to the USA. Courtyard by Marriott Mexico City Airport While this is usually the most expensive airport hotel option in Mexico City, it won’t break the bank since the rates for a standard usually start below $120 on Expedia or direct from Hilton. This is a comfortable and easy option if you want the usual Hilton experience but in a transplanted location. When I stayed here many years ago, I couldn’t get used to the fact that when I looked out my window, I was seeing airplanes on the runway. If feels a bit disconcerting when you pop out for a bite to eat because you’re eating in an airport restaurant. It is actually in the airport, up an escalator from where streams of people are walking past all day in the arrivals area. If you search “hotels in Mexico City airport,” you’re only going to find one result for Terminal 1: the Hilton. Just be advised that all but one of these are by Terminal 1 though, so even for the connected ones, you’ll need to either take the free tram if your flight in is Terminal 2 (print or download your boarding pass because you’ll need it) or take the free hotel shuttle that most of these hotels offer. Here are the Mexico City airport hotels that are in or right by the terminal, in some cases with a set-up where you take a pedestrian walkway to get there. If you do have an early departure though, or just a long layover in this Aeromexico hub city, you might want to look at the Mexico City airport hotels that will get you to the airline counter a few minutes after you check out, no stressing about traffic, construction, or accidents.

If you’re leaving outside of rush hour, where to stay in Mexico’s capital city shouldn’t be impacted by whether you have a flight day or not. If you want though, you can find a good Mexico City Airport hotel and have an easier time of it for an early flight.

The Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) hasn’t been replaced by some far-flung runways an hour or more out of town like you find in some other capital cities. You just have to allow ample time for traffic and leave a few hours before your flight. The Mexico City airport is conveniently located near the attractions and nice neighborhoods if you want to stay in one of the city’s historic hotels, or somewhere like Roma or Condesa.
