We have a very enjoyable layover in Chicago. 48 hours under the flight path of the second busiest (aircraft movements) airport in the world. The ambiance of the hotel is top shelf, in that you can enjoy the conversations and door slamming of any neighbors. And all the amenities in the hotel and the area, are the best. If you don't mind walking along a freeway. But take a lovely train ride to downtown with 20 stops and some of the oldest cars in existence. Yes, we certainly have some quality down time for rest and relaxation at some of the loveliest airport locations in the world. Come and enjoy.

Dallas...you'll love the interstate location for 48 hours.
SFO......office parks are wonderful this time of year.

Not a complete list, but cities with 24 hrs or more at the airport.
Rome, Paris, London, Manchester, Milan, Chicago, Atlanta, Dusseldorf, Birmingham, and I'm sure there are others.

But not to be totally negative, there are, without question some truly quality hotels and layovers in beautiful cities. You roll the dice and take your chances.
