Hotel Aeropuerto

Mexico City


Although there are several upscale hotels linked to the terminals, this affordable hotel across the street serves just fine for weary travelers with budget-priced food and drinks in the bar-restaurant. The only nonchain in the zone, it has helpful reception staff and TV-equipped, neutral modern rooms, some overlooking the airport runway through soundproof windows.

Turn left outside the domestic terminal, and beyond the metro take a left onto Blvd Puerto Aéreo and cross via the pedestrian bridge.
