We have 6 AM flight out of Marco Polo airport to Frankfurt (Lufthansa).
Thinking of staying in a hotel near the airport.
Ania Park hotel has shuttle to the airport but runs at 4:30 am the earliest. I'm worried it's cutting it too close to my departure time.
Anyone has recommendation for hotel near Marco Polo?
Thanks.
I know there is Courtyard by Marriott, although I’m sure it’s not cheap. Go to Google Maps, zoom into the airport area (it’s in the town of Tessera) then in the search box enter “hotels”. They will all pop up. Then look into their individual websites.
In any case a flight to Frankfurt is a Schengen area flight, meaning it is the equivalent of a domestic flight in the US (no passport checks between Schengen area countries), so getting to the airport at 4:45 should be sufficient.
Best Western Titian Inn is 1 mile away and has an airport shuttle. It is more reasonably priced than the other properties out at Marco Polo Airport.
You should find getting thru the airport early to be easy. It is not that large of a place.
Note; Many take 6:00 am flights only to be shuttled to another gateway European airport where they sit for hours until the midday flights to North America depart. I try to catch flights leaving closer to 8:30 or so. The flights home are difficult enough without getting little or no sleep the night before.
We also had a 6 am flight, and didn’t want to spend much for a short night of sleep, so stayed near the airport at Hotel Gronda Lagunare. It is a no-frills hotel, but it was clean and we slept well. It is only 3/4 mile from the airport, and the hotel arranged a 3:30 am shuttle for us as we like to be at the airport early. The shuttle cost was only 10 euro. There is a restaurant below the hotel which didn’t look like much from the outside, but was nice inside and the owner made us a wonderful last dinner of gnocchi. The hotel had packaged snacks set out for breakfast which we took with us.
Thank you for the recommendations. I'll check them out.
Some of the hotels that provide shuttle, starts at 4:30 or 5 am. I'm afraid if it's too close to my departure. I'll like to be at the airport at 4am or may be a little after 4am just to be safe.
My final destination is Seattle, but we have a transfer in Frankfurt.
We stayed at the Ania Park Hotel. It’s right across the highway from the airport — a quick shuttle ride. The hotel is comfortable and the shuttle will take you to a local place for dinner the night before your flight.
You could look at hotels in Mestre, and they will order an early morning taxi for you. So you can have a nice dinner the night before departure, instead of being stuck in an airport hotel.
