Van Nuys Airport (VNY) describes itself as one of the world's busiest general aviation airports, and passengers arriving by private jet need lodging that gets them off the tarmac and into a room fast. The four hotels below are all within 1.5 miles of the terminal in a straight line, listed closest first, with star rating and guest score for each. Most of them rely on rideshare for airport transfers.
How we ranked these hotels
Straight-line distance to the VNY terminal sets the order, closest first. Roads around the airfield add distance, so we don't quote drive times.
The San Fernando Valley street grid is car-oriented, and most charter passengers arrive by rideshare, car service, or rental car rather than transit. Shuttle service is noted where confirmed, though most properties in this corridor rely on rideshare for airport transfers.
