Best Hotels Near Dallas Fort Worth Airport
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport covers a huge site between the two cities, so hotels near it are spread over several suburbs rather than one strip. One is connected to the terminals: the Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport. Most others sit just north of the airport in Grapevine, Irving and Coppell, where chains such as the Embassy Suites, the Westin, the Sheraton and the Marriott run airport shuttles. Las Colinas, to the east, adds hotels for business trips, and Grapevine is also home to the Gaylord Texan resort. I sort them by how easily each one gets you to your terminal and what it adds for the night.
The land around DFW is suburban Texas at its most practical: highways, business parks and hotel clusters between Dallas to the east and Fort Worth to the west. Grapevine, on the north side, mixes a historic main street with the Gaylord Texan resort and shuttle hotels. Irving and Las Colinas to the east are office districts with canals and lakeside towers, while Coppell and Euless are quieter residential suburbs. Nobody comes here for the scenery, but few airport areas offer as many pools and free breakfasts.
Where to stay near the airport
How I would choose near DFW
DFW is one of the largest airports in the United States, and a terminal change or a drive from downtown Dallas or Fort Worth can take longer than expected. A hotel nearby, with a free shuttle at the door, turns an early flight into a short ride. The area around the airport is built for it: a ring of suburbs full of shuttle hotels, many with pools and free breakfast, which matter in the Texas heat and on a tight schedule. Choosing well here is mostly about the shuttle, the breakfast and the size of the room.
The Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport is the first address I would look at, because it is directly connected to the airport terminals. Its rooms and suites have balconies, it has an outdoor pool, and it also runs an airport shuttle for the other terminals, with a rating of 8.6 across more than four thousand reviews. For a dawn departure or a tight connection, it removes the transfer entirely. Every other hotel on this page relies on a shuttle or a short drive, so if the Hyatt Regency is full, I would look next at a shuttle hotel in Grapevine or Irving, just north of the airport, where the ride is usually short.
Shuttle hotels make up most of the list, and the best of them add something useful. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Grapevine DFW Airport North, rated 9.0 across more than eight thousand reviews, combines an airport shuttle with free breakfast, an indoor pool and suites only. The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport has a free shuttle, a rooftop pool and accepts pets, while the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott offers two pools and a hot tub. The Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel has three restaurants, and the Four Points by Sheraton Dallas Fort Worth Airport North, rated 8.6, adds a 24/7 gym. The Tru by Hilton Coppell DFW Airport North, rated 8.8, includes breakfast.
Families and longer stays have plenty of all-suite options with kitchens. The Staybridge Suites DFW Airport North has full kitchens in every room, free breakfast, a shuttle, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. The Hampton Inn & Suites Dallas-DFW Airport North-Grapevine and the Element by Marriott Dallas Fort Worth Airport North both have kitchens in some rooms, along with breakfast and a shuttle. The Hyatt House Dallas/Las Colinas offers suites with full kitchens, and the Home2 Suites by Hilton Euless DFW West is an all-suite hotel with kitchens and free breakfast. The SpringHill Suites Grapevine and the Best Western Plus DFW Airport Suites complete the all-suite choice.
The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine is a different kind of stay. With two pools, four restaurants, a full-service spa and a five-acre atrium, it is a destination in itself, and with more than twenty thousand reviews and a rating of 8.8 it is by far the most reviewed hotel here. I would choose it for a conference, a family weekend or a long layover rather than a quick overnight. In Las Colinas, the NYLO Las Colinas Hotel offers two outdoor pools and an industrial-chic setting, and the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Las Colinas has a fire pit and an indoor and outdoor pool.
A traveler's takeMy advice is to book the Hyatt Regency DFW if the flight is the only goal, since it is connected to the terminals. For a lower budget, I would pick a shuttle hotel with breakfast, such as the Embassy Suites Grapevine or the Tru by Hilton Coppell. With children or for several nights, I would choose the Staybridge Suites for its kitchens. For a long layover or an event, I would book the Gaylord Texan.
