How we choose every hotel on this site.
WalkToAirport.com exists to answer one specific question: can I walk from this airport terminal to a hotel? Our editorial standards keep the answer clear and trustworthy.
We list a hotel only if a typical traveler can reach it from the terminal on foot. That means a continuous indoor walkway, skybridge, signed sidewalk, or marked pedestrian route. If the only way to get there is a shuttle, rideshare, taxi, train, or any other vehicle, we do not list it.
Onsite or in-terminal: the hotel is inside the terminal building or connected by an enclosed walkway, skybridge, or indoor corridor. No outdoor exposure.
Walkable offsite: a safe, legal, signed pedestrian route exists from the terminal to the hotel. It may include sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian bridges, and marked paths through parking or commercial areas.
For each airport we check official terminal maps, airport authority pedestrian guidance, hotel location descriptions, street-level imagery, and traveler reports. We look for a documented route, not just a short straight-line distance. If we cannot confirm a safe walk, the hotel is not included.
Hotels that require a shuttle, taxi, rideshare, or public transit. Hotels separated by highways, active runways, fences, or other barriers without a legal pedestrian crossing. Properties marketed as "near the airport" or "airport-adjacent" that are not actually reachable on foot. Hotels with theoretical routes that lack documented pedestrian access.
We do not accept payment to feature hotels, and commission rates do not affect which properties appear or how they are ranked. A hotel is listed only if it meets the walkable-only standard.
Airport construction, road changes, and hotel closures can alter walking routes. We periodically review listings and update route notes when conditions change. Always verify the current route before you travel, especially during major construction or severe weather.
