How we ranked these hotels
Shortest taxi time to a DFW terminal led. Within a three-minute taxi window, hotels with a confirmed free airport shuttle ranked above those without one.

Transfer tips for DFW airport hotels
- Skylink, the free train between all five terminals, runs 24 hours a day inside security, and the longest ride takes up to 9 minutes.
- The DART Orange Line stops at DFW Airport Terminal A Station, near Gate A10. Skylink runs inside security, so clear security at Terminal A before riding it to another terminal, or take the free Terminal Link shuttle, which runs outside security.
- Hotels on Plaza Drive in Irving (about 1.85 miles from the airport perimeter) run shuttles on a loop schedule, so call ahead or check the app to time your pickup and avoid a 20-minute wait with heavy bags.
- If you land at Terminal D (international arrivals) and want DART, the free Terminal Link shuttle runs outside security to the Orange Line station at Terminal A.
DART Orange Line access from DFW hotels
The DART Orange Line gives travelers a direct rail link between DFW Airport and downtown Dallas, starting at DFW Airport Terminal A Station and stopping at Belt Line, Irving Convention Center and Las Colinas Urban Center on the way into the Dallas city core.
On-campus guests reach the station through the terminals: the Grand Hyatt is inside Terminal D, and the Hyatt Regency runs a free shuttle to all terminals. TownePlace Suites on Plaza Drive in Irving is about 1.5 miles in a straight line from DFW Airport Terminal A Station, too far to walk with bags, so take its complimentary shuttle to the airport and board the train there.
For travelers connecting to downtown Dallas meetings or the convention center, the Orange Line takes just under an hour from the airport to downtown, no taxi needed. Flying into the other Dallas airport instead? See our hotels near Love Field.
