Two hotels are inside the Mexico City airport terminals and seven more sit in the surrounding area, about 0.2 to 5.1 km from a terminal. Compared on live nightly rates, verified guest scores and straight-line distance, from $71 a night to the $259 Hilton inside Terminal 1.
What You Should Know
- Only two hotels on this page are genuinely inside the airport. The Hilton is in Terminal 1 at Gate F1 and the NH Collection is in Terminal 2, both according to the addresses their own listings carry. Everything else needs a vehicle, however close it looks on a map.
- The two in-terminal hotels carry the lowest guest scores among the properties that have one: 7.7 for the Hilton and 8.2 for the NH Collection, against 8.7 or higher for every other scored hotel here. The Courtyard by Marriott 200 metres outside Terminal 1 scores 9.4. You are paying a premium for the walk, not for the hotel.
- Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are not interchangeable and they are about 1.7 kilometres apart. Book against the terminal your flight actually uses, because getting between them with luggage is its own small journey.
- Rates here run $71 to $259 a night, a far narrower band than the city at large. Four hotels on this page start below $150, including the heavily reviewed Camino Real Aeropuerto and Hotel Riazor. The cheapest is the Krystal Urban at $71, though its guest score comes from a much smaller review base than the others.
- An airport hotel solves one problem, which is a flight too early or too late to cross the city for. For any other trip you will have a better time in the city and a prearranged transfer.
Where to Stay Near Mexico City Airport
A Mexico City airport hotel is a single-purpose booking, and the only question that really matters is how far you are from your own terminal at the hour you need to be there. Benito Juárez International sits inside the city rather than outside it, which means the surrounding area has plenty of hotels and terrible traffic, and a property three kilometres away can be twenty minutes or an hour depending on when you travel.
Who Should Stay Near Mexico City Airport?
An airport hotel makes the most sense if you have an early departure, a late arrival, or a short overnight connection. If you have time to explore Mexico City, staying in the city centre is usually more convenient for sightseeing.
- Flying from Terminal 1: compare the Hilton, the Courtyard and the Camino Real first.
- Flying from Terminal 2: start with the NH Collection, then compare the nearby shuttle hotels.
- Looking for the lowest price: check the live rates for the Krystal Urban and the Hotel Riazor.
- Want to avoid a vehicle: prioritise a hotel with a verified terminal address rather than relying on straight-line distance alone, since 0.2 km on the map is still a road transfer here.
So the nine hotels below are ordered by distance rather than by score. Two are inside the terminals, two sit immediately outside Terminal 1, and five are three to five kilometres out in the surrounding neighbourhoods. All nine were priced through our own reservation system for the same sample stay, three nights for two adults about a month ahead, and all nine can be booked from this page.
If you are not flying at an awkward hour, this is probably the wrong page: our Mexico City hotels guide covers the city proper, and our airport transfer guide covers getting between the two.
Mexico City Airport Hotels Compared
Ordered by distance to the nearest terminal rather than by score, because on an airport booking that is the decision. Guest scores are out of 10 and come from the reservation system's own verified-stay reviews.
| # | Hotel | Terminal access | From / night | Guest score | Reviews |

ℹ️ Rates were pulled live from our reservation system on 24 September 2026 for a three-night stay for two adults roughly 30 days out, room-only before local taxes and fees. Terminal access for the first two comes from the addresses their own listings carry; the distances are straight-line between published coordinates and the nearest terminal, not walking or driving distances. The Camino Real carries 12,960 reviews but no guest score in our system, so its rating cell is left empty rather than filled with a guess.
Compare Live Airport Hotel Prices
Prices come directly from our live hotel reservation system and reflect real-time rates for a sample three-night stay for two adults, not generic "from" prices.
The cards are ordered by distance to the nearest terminal rather than by rating, because on an airport booking that is usually the deciding factor. The two in-terminal hotels come first.

NH Collection Mexico City Airport T2
Its listing places it at Capitán Carlos León s/n, Terminal 2, which makes it the in-terminal option for anyone flying from T2. Scores 8.2 across 2,884 reviews, the better rated of the two hotels actually inside the airport.
Hilton Mexico City Airport
The Terminal 1 option, listed at Gate F1 on the third floor. At 7.7 across 2,236 reviews it is the lowest of the scored hotels here, and also the most expensive: you are paying for the fact that you do not have to leave the building.
Courtyard by Marriott Mexico City Airport
Scores 9.4 across 2,744 reviews, comfortably the highest here, about 200 metres from Terminal 1 in straight-line terms. The clearest trade on this page: a much better-reviewed hotel for the price of stepping outside.
Camino Real Aeropuerto
12,960 reviews, more than four times any other hotel here, at a five-star classification and $146 a night. Roughly 200 metres from Terminal 1. Our reservation system carries no guest score for it, so we have shown the review count alone rather than invent a rating.
Holiday Inn Express Mexico Aeropuerto
A 9.2 across 2,030 reviews at $169, about 3.3 kilometres from Terminal 2. The strongest combination of score and price on this page, provided you are happy to be driven to the terminal.
Fiesta Americana Viaducto Aeropuerto
The only five-star classification among the hotels away from the terminals, scoring 9.1 across 1,728 reviews at $180. About 3.9 kilometres out, on Viaducto.
Krystal Urban Aeropuerto Ciudad de México
At $71 a night it is less than a third of the Hilton, scoring 8.8 on a much smaller base of 139 reviews. About 4.2 kilometres from Terminal 2. The budget pick if the bed is genuinely all you need.
Hotel Riazor Aeropuerto
A 9.2 across 2,947 reviews at $138, the second-deepest review base here. About 4.6 kilometres out on Viaducto Miguel Alemán, which puts it closer to the city than to the runway.
Fiesta Inn Plaza Central Aeropuerto
Scores 8.7 across 492 reviews at $140, and at roughly 5.1 kilometres it is the furthest hotel on this page from a terminal. Attached to a shopping centre, which is worth something on a long layover.
Nightly figures are the live room-only rate for a sample three-night stay for two adults about 30 days out. Local taxes and fees are added at checkout. Distances are straight-line between published coordinates and the nearest terminal, not walking or driving distances, and traffic around this airport makes the driving figure considerably less predictable than the kilometres suggest.Room only. Local taxes and fees are added at checkout and can add roughly 20%.
Search all resorts & dates →Hotels Inside Mexico City Airport: What That Actually Means
"Inside the airport" gets used loosely, so it is worth being precise. Two hotels on this page carry a terminal address on their own listing, and they are not in the same terminal.
Hilton Mexico City Airport is listed at Terminal 1, Gate F1, third floor. NH Collection Mexico City Airport T2 is listed at Capitán Carlos León s/n, Terminal 2. The two terminals are about 1.7 kilometres apart, so these are not substitutes for each other. Book against the terminal on your boarding pass, not against whichever is cheaper.
The trade you are making
Among the hotels that carry a guest score in our system, the two in-terminal properties are the lowest: the Hilton at 7.7 out of 10 and the NH Collection at 8.2. Every other scored hotel on this page sits at 8.7 or above, and the Courtyard by Marriott roughly 200 metres outside Terminal 1 scores 9.4 across a comparable 2,744 reviews. The Hilton is also the most expensive bed here at $259. The Camino Real is excluded from that comparison because our system carries no score for it.
That is not an argument against booking them. If your flight leaves at 5am, or you land at midnight with children, or you have a tight connection between two separate tickets, not having to arrange a vehicle at all is worth real money and the scores are beside the point. But if your schedule has any slack, the hotel 200 metres away is better reviewed and cheaper, and the Camino Real next to it is cheaper still.
The sleep pods we could not include
There is a third category genuinely inside both terminals: izZzleep operates sleep-pod facilities in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, priced by the hour as well as overnight, and they are the cheapest way to sleep airside. Both appear in our reservation system, with the Terminal 2 location carrying 3,061 reviews at 8.5 and Terminal 1 at 8.6, but neither returned bookable inventory on any date we tried. They are not in the grid above for that reason. If a few hours between flights is the actual problem, they are worth looking up directly.
Best Mexico City Airport Hotels by Traveler Type
Each row below is decided on one stated criterion rather than on the overall guest score, because the score is rarely the thing that matters on an airport booking. Where the criterion and the score disagree, we have said so.
| If you need | Our pick | Criterion used |
|---|---|---|
| To sleep inside Terminal 1 | Hilton Mexico City Airport, $259 | The only hotel here with a Terminal 1 address. Chosen on location alone: it also has the lowest score of the scored hotels. |
| To sleep inside Terminal 2 | NH Collection Mexico City Airport T2, $216 | The only hotel here with a Terminal 2 address, and cheaper than the T1 option. |
| The best-reviewed bed near T1 | Courtyard by Marriott, $227 | Highest guest score on the page at 9.4, on 2,744 reviews, about 0.2 km from Terminal 1. |
| The lowest price | Krystal Urban Aeropuerto, $71 | Cheapest live rate here. Its 8.8 comes from only 139 reviews, a much thinner base than the rest. |
| Cheap with a deep track record | Hotel Riazor Aeropuerto, $138 | Under $150 and 9.2 across 2,947 reviews, the best score-to-price pairing that also has a large sample. |
| A shuttle and a proper breakfast | Holiday Inn Express Aeropuerto, $169 | 9.2 across 2,030 reviews at 3.3 km, the strongest scored option among the hotels that need a vehicle. |
| A long daytime layover | izZzleep, in both terminals | Sold by the hour as well as overnight. Not bookable through this page, so arrange it directly. |
| Somewhere to wait with things to do | Fiesta Inn Plaza Central, $140 | Attached to a shopping centre. Furthest from a terminal at about 5.1 km, so it suits a wait rather than an early flight. |
Two of these picks deliberately go against the guest score. The Terminal 1 row is decided purely on the address, and the lowest-price row is decided purely on the rate. In both cases the better-reviewed hotel is somewhere else on this page, which is the point of separating the criteria out.
Our Take
Book an airport hotel for the flight, not for the stay. The only thing it needs to do is put you at the right terminal at the right hour with a reasonable night's sleep behind you, and on that test the hotel 200 metres outside Terminal 1 does the job as well as the one inside it, for less money and a considerably better guest score. The in-terminal premium is worth paying when the schedule is genuinely brutal, and hard to justify when it is not.
Tips for Booking a Mexico City Airport Hotel
- Check which terminal your flight uses before you book. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are about 1.7 kilometres apart and the two in-terminal hotels serve different ones. This is the mistake worth avoiding.
- Confirm the shuttle before you rely on it. Seven of these nine need a vehicle, and shuttle hours, frequency and cost vary by property. Message the hotel with your arrival time rather than assuming a 24-hour service.
- Judge distance in minutes, not kilometres. The figures here are straight-line. Traffic around this airport is unpredictable, and a four-kilometre hotel at 7am is a different proposition from the same hotel at 2pm.
- Do not pay the in-terminal premium for a civilised departure time. If your flight is mid-morning, the better-scoring hotels outside the terminal are cheaper and the difference in hassle is small.
- Do pay it for a 5am departure or a midnight landing. Not needing a vehicle at all at those hours is the entire product, and it is worth the money and the lower guest score.
- Read the star rating as a classification, not a grade. The Camino Real is classified five stars and the Courtyard four, yet the Courtyard carries the higher guest score of the two.
- For a long layover, consider the sleep pods instead. izZzleep operates in both terminals and sells by the hour, which is a better fit for six hours between flights than a full night's rate.
- Budget roughly 20 percent on top. The rates here are room-only; local taxes and fees are added at checkout.
- If the trip is not built around a flight, stay in the city. The airport area has little to offer beyond proximity, and you will be crossing town anyway.
How We Chose These Hotels
We have not stayed in these nine hotels, and nothing here should be read as a firsthand account of a stay. Every price, guest score and review count comes from our own hotel reservation system, queried live on 24 September 2026. Rates are the real room-only figure returned for one consistent sample stay, three nights for two adults roughly 30 days ahead, so the nine are comparable with each other rather than being the price you will pay. Local taxes and fees are added at checkout. Distances need a specific caveat. Our reservation system does not carry a verified airport-distance field, so rather than repeat marketing claims we computed straight-line distances between each hotel's published coordinates and the nearest terminal. Those are not walking or driving distances and they do not account for the road layout or the traffic, both of which matter more here than the kilometres do. The two terminal hotels are the exception: their terminal locations are taken from the addresses their own listings carry, not from our calculation. Two data problems are worth naming. The Camino Real Aeropuerto carries 12,960 verified reviews but no guest score at all in our system, so we have shown the review count and left the rating blank rather than print a zero that would read as a bad hotel. And the Hilton appears in the system twice, as two records for the same property roughly 150 metres apart, one carrying 203 reviews and one carrying 2,236. We used the record with the larger review base and took the Terminal 1 Gate F1 location from the other, since both describe the same hotel. Selection was mechanical first. We pulled every Mexico City property in the system, filtered to those in the airport area, then checked live availability on each. The izZzleep sleep-pod facilities inside both terminals passed the first filter and failed the second, returning no bookable inventory on any date we tried, so they are described in their own section rather than listed in the grid. From what remained we ordered by distance rather than by score, because on an airport booking that is the decision being made. We earn a commission when you book through this page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a hotel inside Mexico City airport?+
Yes, two. The Hilton Mexico City Airport is listed at Terminal 1, Gate F1, third floor, and the NH Collection Mexico City Airport T2 is listed inside Terminal 2. They serve different terminals, which are about 1.7 kilometres apart, so book against the terminal on your boarding pass. There are also izZzleep sleep-pod facilities in both terminals, though those were not bookable through our system when we checked.
Which Mexico City airport hotel is best?+
By guest score it is the Courtyard by Marriott Mexico City Airport, at 9.4 out of 10 across 2,744 reviews and $227 a night, roughly 200 metres from Terminal 1 rather than inside it. If you need to be inside the building, the NH Collection at Terminal 2 scores 8.2 and the Hilton at Terminal 1 scores 7.7. Both sit below every other scored hotel on this page, all of which are 8.7 or higher.
How much is a hotel at Mexico City airport?+
The nine compared here run from $71 to $259 a night for two adults, room-only before taxes and fees. The Hilton inside Terminal 1 is the most expensive at $259, the NH Collection inside Terminal 2 is $216, and the cheapest is the Krystal Urban at $71 about 4.2 kilometres out. Four hotels start below $150, two of which carry thousands of reviews.
Is the NH Collection Mexico City Airport T2 inside the terminal?+
Its listing places it at Capitán Carlos León s/n, Terminal 2, so yes for T2 departures. It scores 8.2 across 2,884 reviews at $216 a night, making it the better rated of the two hotels with a terminal address. Note that it does not help you if you are flying from Terminal 1, which is about 1.7 kilometres away.
Is the Hilton Mexico City Airport worth it?+
It depends entirely on your flight time. It is the most expensive hotel on this page at $259 and the lowest scoring at 7.7 across 2,236 reviews, and the Courtyard 200 metres outside scores 9.4 for $227. What you are buying is not having to arrange a vehicle at all, which is worth it for a pre-dawn departure or a late-night arrival and hard to justify otherwise.
How far is the Courtyard Mexico City Airport from the terminal?+
About 200 metres from Terminal 1 in straight-line terms, based on published coordinates. That is not a walking distance we can verify, since the road layout and the terminal access govern the actual route, so confirm the shuttle arrangement with the hotel. It scores 9.4 across 2,744 reviews, the highest on this page.
Do Mexico City airport hotels have shuttles?+
Most of the ones away from the terminals do, but hours, frequency and cost vary by property and we have not verified them individually. Seven of the nine hotels here need a vehicle of some kind. If you are arriving late or leaving very early, message the hotel with your exact times rather than assuming a 24-hour service.
Should I stay at the airport or in the city?+
Stay at the airport only if your flight is too early or too late to cross the city comfortably. Benito Juárez sits inside the city, so the surrounding area is convenient and little else. For any other trip a central hotel plus a prearranged transfer gives you a much better stay, and our Mexico City hotels guide covers those options.
