Good Food in Airport Hotels

Locations in this article:  Dallas, TX Detroit, MI Tampa, FL

When you think of airport hotels, you probably don’t expect anything more than a place to sleep with basic amenities. But these days, airport hotels are offering some unusual ways to spend time before your flight out.

Located in Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport’s Terminal D, the Grand Hyatt DFW has a unique tasting experience called iTaste.

Using iPod technology, iTaste offers individual tastings: chocolate, wine, or cheese.

The hotel’s signature restaurant also has an interactive virtual menu.

Near Tampa International airport, guests at the Renaissance Tampa Hotel can take hands-on cooking classes from a local celebrity chef.

At the Crystal City Marriott hotel by Reagan National Airport, you can catch a Broadway-style show at the 50-year-old Arena Stage Theater.

And, if you’re looking for some entertainment at the Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport hotel, registered overnight guests have access to nearly 90 shops and restaurants in the airport’s McNamara Terminal, which is just on the other side of airport security.
