No expense account or loyalty status will get you a room at this hotel. The only guests checking into Skyview 6 work for American Airlines. It’s the kind of hotel that would make most road warriors jealous—and one that has American employees already pushing for similar quality hotels on the road.⁠

The 600-room hotel, which opened near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in late January, has a tavern with an airy patio, supersize gym, lap pool, free cruiser bikes, and sushi to go.⁠

The airline built the hotel to house most of the tens of thousands of flight attendants, pilots and other front-line workers who fly in for training each year at its 300-acre corporate campus. Employees previously were scattered among several area hotels and American’s rundown lodge for flight attendants, which was razed in 2019.⁠

“It brings energy and just a sense of connection,” says Robert Isom, American’s chief executive. Nothing at Skyview 6, Isom says, is “second-rate. Nothing.”⁠

American solicited input from its resident frequent fliers, including current and retired flight attendants and pilots, on hotel must-haves and must-nots. There are magnetic blackout curtains in the rooms designed to let no light seep through. The safes in the room are big enough to store laptops and tablets.⁠

The bathrooms include a light under the counter that turns on when employees walk in, a nod to employees who travel so much they wake up wondering where they are, says Holly Ragan, American’s senior manager of corporate real estate. There’s also a digital clock embedded in the bathroom mirror and Bluetooth connectivity, so employees can listen to music or podcasts when getting ready.⁠

American Airlines captain Dennis Tajer, also spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, says American, which the union is in contract negotiations with, should now turn its attention to picking similar caliber hotels for flight crews on layovers.⁠
