Hotels near Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX)

Mexico City's airport sits close to the city centre by the standards of major capitals, which shapes the whole decision here: do you actually need an airport hotel, or would you be better off basing yourself in town?

Choosing between the terminal hotels and this closer ring is really a question of budget versus absolute convenience: the terminal properties save you every last minute of hassle, while the 3 km cluster still keeps you near enough for comfort but may offer more choice on price.

Staying in Mexico City proper is a legitimate option too, provided your flight times give you the leeway — the airport isn't far from the historic centre and several central neighbourhoods, so you're not necessarily trading location for a city stay if your schedule cooperates. Just weigh that against traffic conditions before committing to a tight morning transfer.
