I Stayed in Luxury Airport Hotels
Category

FunTranscript
00:00Sleeping in airports is never fun, but did you know inside of some airports there are insane super luxurious hotels?
00:06With giant futuristic lobbies, robot workers, and tons of things for you to do before your flight?
00:11I need to find out what they're like.
00:13So I'm traveling around the planet to find the world's best airport hotel, starting with what some call the fanciest airport ever.
00:19We just landed at the world's number one ranked airport.
00:21And this place doesn't even feel like an airport because there are designer super stores, giant statues, and tons of trees inside.
00:27Apparently it has an entire indoor forest, a golf simulator, and tons of luxury restaurants.
00:32But before we get to explore, we have to check into our first hotel.
00:35This is the Oryx Airport Hotel, and they claim to be an oasis of five-star hospitality.
00:40I have no idea what that means, but it sounds amazing.
00:42The reviews online are great. The only complaints I heard were from Alex who said,
00:46Nice hotel with golf and swimming pool. But when I ordered room service, it took two hours.
00:50I'm hungry. Room service sounds great, so I'll be testing that one. But let's go check in.
00:54I paid just over $350 a night, and this is the room we got.
00:57Considering this is inside an airport, it's actually extremely nice.
01:00But let's start with a room tour. Big queen-size bed. Very soft blanket. I like it.
01:04TV playing football highlights. Nice little chair to lounge in.
01:08Right next to the sliding door that reveals our room's view.
01:11So all of the hotels in this video are inside of airports, so I don't really know what to expect when it comes to the view.
01:16This room comes with a view of people boarding their flight. This is weird.
01:21There's a coffee station with bottles of water and tea.
01:25Here's the bathroom. It's actually really big. A toilet, a big shower, and this kind of cool hand dryer.
01:32I don't think I've ever had a hotel room with a hand dryer like this before.
01:35Next to the TV, you have your desk. But the desk has one very important thing.
01:39The information dice. On the information dice, you'll find things like the room service menu.
01:43But remember, Alex said it took his room service two hours to get to the room. So we're gonna see if Alex was right.
01:48But more importantly, not only can you order food to the room, you can also order gaming consoles to the room.
01:53Hello, I would like to order the Xbox and PlayStation to the room.
01:57And of course, I got some food too. Thank you.
01:59So now we wait. And because we don't have too much time until our next flight, I was really hoping Alex would be wrong.
02:04Hello. Hello. Yes. Okay, uh, you're gonna push for the Xbox, right? Yes. Thank you.
02:11You, you will carry it by yourself, but you need, you need help.
02:15These hotel workers knocked on my door after just 15 minutes. They were super nice and helped me get all set up.
02:19Here it is. They brought me the Xbox. It cost about $15 an hour to reserve this. Not too bad, I guess.
02:25Also, the only game they had that they could bring me was FIFA 18. Kind of random, but I love FIFA.
02:30And so, while still waiting for food room service, it was time to play.
02:34Next door, next door, next door. Oh man, too high.
02:37Woohoo, go!
02:39Uh...
02:40It's 11 58 PM, which means it only took about half an hour to get here from the time I ordered it.
02:48Alex said it took two hours for his. He's way off.
02:51I ordered the lamb stew with mashed potatoes and it actually looks really good. Okay, let's eat.
02:56Let me tell you, this dinner was delicious. Here's what it looked like to eat it if you were me.
03:00So this hotel also has a swimming pool and apparently a golf simulator, which just sounds crazy, considering it's inside an airport.
03:08Hello. Is the golf simulator available right now?
03:16Yeah, it's other little.
03:18Okay, this is pretty cool. I get why this is the best airport in the world now. I'm in a golf simulator inside a hotel inside an airport right now.
03:26This isn't real. To get started, you just pick your favorite club and get ready to hit some balls.
03:31I don't know how good I'm gonna be. It's been a little while.
03:40That was a good one, I think.
03:41This is so cool. This is crazy.
03:44After a tough start, I finally got the hang of things.
03:48And that's when I wanted to set up a really cool camera angle on my iPhone.
03:51I guess I thought this camera angle looked awesome, but it was a huge mistake.
03:59I somehow managed to perfectly crush my iPhone with the golf ball.
04:03What are the odds of that?
04:05I was setting up my iPhone to get a cool shot.
04:07I thought there's no chance I hit it exactly perfectly, but look at it.
04:12I destroyed it.
04:13I can't believe this.
04:14Keep in mind, this iPhone is the only thing I have with our boarding passes, and our next flight is in three hours.
04:19Oh. My.
04:22Drew, this is so bad. Does it turn on?
04:24I didn't think I would hit it so accurately.
04:26Okay.
04:27But like, turn it off.
04:30Luckily, I had a plan.
04:31Because I gotta buy a new iPhone now.
04:33See, this airport has an Apple store that's open, even though it's the middle of the night.
04:37I'm so lucky this is here.
04:38Hello.
04:39I need to buy a new iPhone.
04:40Luckily, they had them and I was able to start setting mine up while we kept exploring the airport.
04:44I took Sam back to the golf simulator.
04:46Whoa.
04:47Nice.
04:48Nice.
04:49And somehow, she's incredible.
04:51Oh my gosh.
04:52I think you're better than I am.
04:56But next, we found the airport hotel's gym, which was awesome.
04:59I got a little workout in.
05:00And the swimming pool, which was completely empty.
05:03Water is warm.
05:05It's so cool.
05:06You can just do this between the flights.
05:08I've never been in any airport like this before.
05:11And we still have a lot more airport hotels to get to in this video, so it might only be getting better from here.
05:16But next, we left the airport hotel to find out why the rest of this airport is rated so highly.
05:20There's an entire indoor waterfall and luxury stores everywhere.
05:24Like we even found this shop called Gold.
05:26And all it sells is gold.
05:27So if you want, before your flight, you can grab some super fancy jewelry.
05:31This is crazy.
05:32Excuse me, do you have this in silver?
05:34But it really is hard to explain how futuristic, massive, and clean this airport is.
05:38I feel like we're in a spaceship right now.
05:40Not a jungle?
05:41A jungle and a spaceship.
05:43All the plants are real.
05:45They even have tents set up here, so if you have a long delay before your flight, you can just camp here.
05:51It's so cute.
05:52There's like paths everywhere.
05:54You can just literally go for a hike between your flights.
05:56This is insane.
05:57Thanks for coming on this hike with me.
05:58Of course.
05:59You can hear the sounds of birds.
06:01This feels like something out of Avatar.
06:03And then if you make it to the end of the trail, you're rewarded with an incredible view of seats.
06:08So you can walk right from a forest onto your flight, which is perfect.
06:11Because it's about time we board our flight to our next airport hotel.
06:15And somehow the airport we're going to might actually be better.
06:18But first, because we're coming from Qatar, we got to try one of the best business class seats in the world.
06:22This is crazy.
06:23Because when you book these seats, you get your own queen-size bed after takeoff.
06:27And let me tell you, they're just insane.
06:28There's like an entire hotel room in the sky.
06:30I don't wanna leave.
06:31First, you'll notice that you get massive touch screens filled with every movie you could want.
06:35And you get a menu with fancy food you can order anytime you're hungry throughout the flight.
06:39They even offer caviar.
06:41This is your control panel letting you call for help or make your seat lie flat like a bed.
06:45And you even get free pajamas to help you get comfy.
06:47You just need to take them to the plane's bathroom to change.
06:50Okay, this is a really nice airplane bathroom.
06:52There's fancy bottles of lotion and soap.
06:54Crazy mirror.
06:55Wow.
06:56There's even a window in the bathroom.
07:00That's more like it.
07:02Anyways, we enjoyed our dinner.
07:04And in no time, we were arriving at what might be the craziest airport I've ever been to.
07:09Welcome to Singapore.
07:11Last year, this airport was ranked as the number two airport in the world.
07:14And in 2025, it actually took back number one.
07:17And you can definitely see why.
07:18Because there's a monorail that takes you past the airport's indoor jungle.
07:21Plus, it has a butterfly garden, a movie theater that's completely free, and tons of activities.
07:26But before we get to explore the airport itself, we first have to check into our next airport hotel, the Crowne Plaza.
07:31And it has an insane amount of things to do.
07:33There's a reason this hotel is so special.
07:35They won Airport Hotel of the Year every year except for 2021.
07:39So let's see if this hotel really is the best airport hotel in the world.
07:41Or if we're about to crown a new best airport hotel in this video.
07:44And immediately when you walk in, you'll find this giant hologram screen waiting for you.
07:48Because this hotel has its own AI assistant.
07:50Although, her mouth doesn't move perfectly.
07:52Hello, my name is Clara.
07:54I'm here to assist with information about the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
07:57How may I assist you?
07:58What's the best restaurant in the airport?
08:01Best restaurant you can find is El Rora Ristorante and Bar.
08:04What should I do if I'm bored at the Crowne Plaza Chengi Hotel?
08:07Visit the fitness center on level 2.
08:09Another great option is the outdoor swimming pool on level 3.
08:13So there's a lot we'll have to do at this hotel.
08:15But first, here's our room.
08:16Unlike our last hotel, which had a view of people boarding their plane.
08:18At this hotel, you have a view of the runway and planes taking off.
08:21It's way nicer to have some sunlight.
08:23And first impressions, this room is really big.
08:25Big closet.
08:26You get your TV.
08:27A desk with a view of the planes.
08:28A mini couch in front of the bed.
08:30And your bed, which is nice and large.
08:32This bed's actually really comfy.
08:33I think I'd give it like a 8 out of 10.
08:35Even the bathroom has a glass window.
08:37So you can look right through to see the planes taking off while you're cleaning yourself.
08:41But then we found the swimming pool.
08:42Sadly, the water is freezing.
08:44I'm not swimming today.
08:45So instead, we just hit the gym.
08:48And then it was time for us to go find out why this airport took the crown as number one this year.
08:52And I think it all starts with their indoor rainforest.
08:54It really is hard to explain just how beautiful and futuristic this place is.
08:58How is this an airport?
08:59And there's people doing a workout class by the water.
09:02What the heck?
09:03Of course, this airport has hundreds of massive shops you can explore.
09:06Like the Nintendo store.
09:07Where you can buy a $120 Luigi.
09:09Or a $120 mushroom pillow.
09:11Of course, there's an arcade where you can try to win some prizes.
09:14But sadly, Sam failed.
09:16They have stores that went out of business in America like Toys R Us.
09:19It randomly has a skeleton of Patrick from Spongebob.
09:22This airport like Qatar also has an Apple store.
09:24Although this one is way larger.
09:26It takes up like two stories.
09:27And there were hundreds of employees just sitting inside.
09:30But there's also a shop selling football jerseys.
09:32Right in the front.
09:33Rinaldo.
09:34Rinaldo.
09:35The jerseys cost around $100 each.
09:36But there are tons of options.
09:37And they even have super expensive trading cards.
09:40These cards are $900?
09:41The middle one, yes.
09:42There's a store in the airport that only sells super fancy massage chairs.
09:46What in the world?
09:48Like this $100 pillow that moves.
09:50This crazy looking headset.
09:51Eye massager.
09:53I've never heard of an eye massager in my life.
09:56And this main throne?
09:57It costs $10,000.
09:58They have one of the best Starbucks in the world with robot workers that'll bring you your coffee.
10:03I'm not even kidding.
10:04It's got a little face.
10:05And its job is basically to run around Starbucks and pick up people's finished drinks and plates.
10:09It's not the fastest worker.
10:10But I think he works hard.
10:12And there are even security robots at the airport's entrance.
10:15Making sure people aren't parking where they're supposed to be dropping people off.
10:18It basically just watches cars that are dropping people off to make sure they don't park for too long.
10:23If you take too long, it starts to sound the alarm.
10:26And then it slowly starts a countdown timer.
10:29If it does, it'll call a real police officer to the scene.
10:33So you definitely don't want to mess around with this clanker.
10:35But in this case, the robot did its job and the car actually moved.
10:38Now I can move on to the next vehicle.
10:39But somehow there's still way more airport we have to explore before our next flight.
10:42Starting with a hedge maze.
10:44They've literally built a garden maze for you to walk through and potentially get lost in.
10:49This is crazy that this is literally an airport.
10:51I've been here late for your flight, but you got caught in the maze.
10:54I missed my flight.
10:55I couldn't get out of the maze.
10:56But there's also an indoor mirror maze.
10:58They have to give you these little noodles so you never run into a wall.
11:01But it's confusing in here.
11:02Like I met all of my clones.
11:04I have no idea where to go.
11:06And accidentally started a pool noodle fight.
11:09And you can even explore a glass trail with the best view of the airport's waterfall.
11:13There are slides.
11:16That might be a little too fast.
11:18You ended up in a bush.
11:19Next is the bouncing net.
11:21It's basically like the largest rope trampoline I've ever seen.
11:24There's definitely infinite ways to entertain yourself before your flight at this airport.
11:27Just not if you're afraid of heights.
11:30And we're still not done yet because we found an indoor bike racing game.
11:33I guess this way they can tire you out before your flight.
11:35In here there's even a smile competition.
11:37Where an AI will grade everyone's smile to decide who has the best smile in the entire airport.
11:42Apparently this kid has the best smile in the entire airport with a score of 84.
11:46Three.
11:47Two.
11:48One.
11:49Oh.
11:50Oh.
11:51Oh.
11:52Ha ha.
11:53You got 50th in the entire airport.
11:55I did terrible.
11:56This airport has signs for the weirdest things ever.
11:59So in your pool, that way.
12:00Practice garden, this way.
12:01A butterfly garden in an airport.
12:03It's totally real and over a thousand butterflies live in this room.
12:06There's even a free movie theater.
12:08If you're in this airport, you can just come here.
12:10If you have free time, watch a free movie 24 hours a day.
12:13This is the best airport ever.
12:15It's quiet.
12:16That was awesome except there was no popcorn machine.
12:19That's a problem.
12:20That's all it's missing.
12:21Have you ever seen a robot giraffe eating fake plants in an airport before?
12:26But at this point, nothing surprises me.
12:29We found this pond area with a river hologram on the ceiling.
12:32And hundreds of real fish living in aquariums.
12:34It's so serene, man.
12:36Before our flight, there's one last thing I have to show you that you're really gonna love.
12:39Wow.
12:40They transformed this airport's patio into a sunflower garden so you can get some fresh air.
12:43But sadly, our time here is up.
12:45Bye, Singapore.
12:46I'm giving our Singapore hotel four stars.
12:48And now we'll compare it to a resort that has a lot more to offer as we land in South Korea.
12:52We're in Seoul, which has the world's fourth best airport, to try the biggest airport hotel I've ever seen.
12:57For $200 a night, we're trying the Inspire Entertainment Resort.
13:00And just from the pictures online, you can tell it's massive.
13:03Some of the reviews really love this hotel.
13:05Like one guy said, it has basically everything you would want.
13:08But then other people have really negative reviews.
13:10It smells, the hallway is reek, moldy, and to be honest, like dog or cat urine.
13:14It was so bad that it would prevent me from staying here again.
13:16But at least when it comes to first impressions, this hotel's entryway was absolutely incredible.
13:20With massive floor-to-ceiling screens that change every few minutes.
13:24Beautiful.
13:25Like it can make you feel like you're in a cave or taking an escalator up right through a waterfall.
13:29But the screens don't just end there, because next you'll find yourself in the craziest hallway you'll ever see in a hotel ever.
13:35They're literally trying to make it look like we're in the African savannah at sunset.
13:39They're really doing a great job.
13:41Oh, there's a baby elephant.
13:42I know, it's so cute.
13:43You'll see HD lion families on the walls.
13:45This is insane.
13:46I have never been to any hotel that looks like this before.
13:49Whoa.
13:50As you walk towards your hotel room, you'll find this really nice seating area with light-up trees inside.
13:55And giant green bushes that look like turtles.
13:57This is like the most futuristic hotel lobby I've ever seen.
14:00And then after quite a bit of walking, we finally made it down the hall into our pretty nice hotel room.
14:05It has this tablet that lets you order room service or control the lights.
14:08Large flat screen TV with YouTube and everything you could want.
14:11Nightstand with chicken legs for some reason.
14:14What? That's weird.
14:16And of course you get a nice bathroom with those futuristic Korean toilets.
14:19I was just confused because I saw a button that said kid.
14:22I guess I thought by pushing it, it might start a light show or play some songs for kids.
14:25So I tried it only for this to happen.
14:28What the?
14:29Ah!
14:30No!
14:31Why did you turn it off?
14:32I didn't mean to.
14:33I didn't know what I was going to do.
14:34Oh my God.
14:35Floors.
14:36Can you stop?
14:37I don't know.
14:38I don't really get wet.
14:39How long?
14:40You have to turn it off.
14:42How do I turn it off?
14:43Is that like foreshadowing for what the food does to you?
14:47Because I don't want to find out.
14:49That's because it was dinner time and we found this Korean restaurant.
14:52They have American fried chicken, garlic Texas toast.
14:54You can literally have a little taste of Texas and American food 10,000 miles away here in Korea.
14:59But they have some weird snacks here like spicy sea snail salad.
15:02Spicy sea snail salad.
15:03Spicy snail salad.
15:04Spicy snail salad.
15:05Say that three times.
15:06They have really inspirational motivational quotes on the walls.
15:09Okay.
15:10But of course I got some chicken and it was incredible.
15:13But just next door is this crazy recreation of Mars.
15:16And if you walk through it you'll end up in this massive arcade.
15:19And it's filled with all of these weird rides and games.
15:22I found a merry-go-round.
15:24And my favorite arcade game, basketball.
15:26Good job!
15:27I think I did pretty well.
15:28I got the 21st highest score.
15:30And they also had Sam's favorite games, claw machines.
15:33They even had one where you could try to win a pair of Crocs.
15:37But it seemed impossible.
15:39I really just wanted to try to win this one toy, but I swear these things are always scams.
15:47But we even found a bowling alley in the hotel.
15:51And unlike our golf skills, while Sam turned out not to be great at bowling, I was getting lucky.
15:58This hotel's awesome.
15:59I'm having a great time.
16:00Don't believe any of the bad reviews.
16:02But it's getting late.
16:03And in the morning, we have our longest flight yet.
16:06Good morning.
16:07It is 1045, so we have to check out in 20 minutes.
16:10Overall, I'd give this hotel three and a half stars.
16:12And sadly, we didn't have much time before our flight to explore the world's fourth best airport.
16:16But before our flight, I did find this.
16:18This robot brings your bags to your gate for you.
16:20So you don't have to carry it.
16:21You just put your gate number in on the touch screen.
16:23And then the little guy will get to work taking them exactly where you need to go.
16:26This actually might be the coolest invention I've ever seen at any airport ever.
16:30But now it's time for us to fly back to the other side of the world.
16:33As we explore an airport not quite as modern.
16:36It's actually an airport that makes you feel like you're trapped back in time.
16:39We're in the Orlando airport.
16:40And this is our next hotel.
16:42Right in the middle of the airport.
16:44You can even see people going to their flights from the elevators.
16:47The hotel here is called the Hyatt Regency.
16:49And one night costs just about $300.
16:52I'm not really sure what to expect.
16:53I don't think they've updated this airport in forever.
16:55So let's go check in.
17:00Also, I bought this self-driving suitcase that can like follow you around the airport.
17:03But uh, he doesn't always want to work too well.
17:10Welcome to our room.
17:11Yeah, so maybe it's simple.
17:12But for just about $300 per night, we've got a lot here.
17:15When you walk in, first you see your two super large queen beds.
17:18They've got these cool like snake lamps on the sides.
17:21They are surprisingly fun to mess around with.
17:23It makes you feel like you're fighting a snake just to put the light where you want it.
17:26Look, it's a question mark.
17:29And of course there's your flat screen TV.
17:31Playing uh, Hyatt commercials.
17:32Next to the beds is your desk.
17:34The bathroom situation.
17:36This is a pretty nice bathroom.
17:37There's even a clock inside the mirror just to make sure you know what time it is.
17:42And so that you can't possibly miss your flight.
17:44There's the classic simple artwork you'll find in basically every hotel.
17:47And the bath and shower is actually pretty sick.
17:50Over here you've got your safe mini fridge and coffee stand.
17:53But the best part about this room is something we haven't had at any of our other airport hotels.
17:58You get a massive outdoor balcony.
18:00Of course with a view of all the planes taking off.
18:05This view is incredible.
18:06I took advantage of it and just got some work done on my balcony.
18:09Before it was time for us to explore the rest of our airport hotel.
18:12I found the fitness center with a really cringy inspirational quote.
18:15And then I found the pool.
18:17Which for some reason is closed due to weather.
18:20Even though there's no weather problems at all.
18:22It's actually like the most beautiful day ever.
18:24But there's still a lot more for us to explore this airport.
18:26Because even though it's really old there are still a lot of aspects of it that are really weird.
18:30What is unique about this airport is that there are theme park stores everywhere.
18:33Selling things you would normally never find in an airport.
18:35Like there are thousands of different types of toys for sale in here.
18:38Not to mention there are stores here for literally every theme park in Orlando.
18:41Selling sponge bobs, ray guns, Mario hats and dragons.
18:46A light up pillow.
18:48That's cool.
18:49But the most expensive thing they have is a spider man jersey for $80.
18:53It's kind of awesome though.
18:54There's even a sea world store selling super large animal toys.
18:58That is huge.
18:59You can buy these turtles for $75.
19:01Giant seals are $70.
19:03Walruses are $70.
19:04A little expensive.
19:05So if you need to save money you buy this gator kangaroo.
19:08But one of the most famous parts of this airport is this guy.
19:12It looks like a guy sleeping in a box.
19:15He's not real.
19:16He looks like a normal traveler that's just like stuck in the airport and sleeping on his luggage.
19:20But it's actually a sculpture that was made in 1985 and he's been sleeping here ever since.
19:24I'm just impressed.
19:25I have no idea how they made him look so realistic.
19:27At least when you stay at a hotel inside of an airport you have plenty of options when it comes to dinner.
19:32There's pizza.
19:33Cinnabon.
19:34Firehouse hubs.
19:35And there's an aquarium with a couple fish in it.
19:38Ice cream.
19:39Mexican.
19:40McDonald's.
19:41And my choice.
19:43Panda Express.
19:44Alright.
19:45Dinner is served.
19:46You know maybe not quite as fancy as the room service we got at the Qatar Hotel.
19:50But honestly I'm hungry.
19:51Happy with the food I got.
19:52And I'm excited to eat.
19:53Even though this hotel is pretty simple compared to some of the other ones we've gotten to stay in.
19:56I'll never get over how cool it is to sleep next to airplanes taking off.
20:00My favorite hotel had to be in Singapore.
20:02But honestly what I learned on this trip is when you travel the least memorable part is the time you spend at the airport.
20:07Sure it's nice to get to rest on long travel days.
20:09But even if you can't stay in a fancy hotel it's worth toughing it out to travel somewhere new.
20:13So I think this guy has the right idea.
20:15Because the adventure is everything.
20:17I hope you guys had fun traveling to crazy airports with us.
