About Minutes Suites

In the United States, ten airports offer Minute Suites to tired travellers. Though pricier than other hourly sleep options, these soundproof suites feature more amenities. Each unit has a daybed that sleeps two, a workspace, smart TV, free Wi-Fi, Amazon Alexa, and pillows and blankets. As of 2024, you can find one or more Minute Suites locations at ATL, BNA, BWI, CLT, DFW, DTW, IAH, JFK, PHL, and SLC, with more airports in the pipeline for 2025. Most locations are open 24 hours (exceptions: BNA and BWI) and most airports offer locations with shower facilities by reservation (exceptions: BNA, BWI, SLC). Here are the rates as of December 2024: US$ 55 per hour. Overnight rates vary by location, usually $150-195 (overnight – eight hours, after 9:00 PM til
midnight). Showers are $20 for 30 mins (added on to a minimum 1 hour stay) or $30 for 30 mins without a suite rental. Discounted rates for military/1st responder, crew, and more.
