"Hotel facilities shall generally be located at or near the airport. However, any layover scheduled for 15 hours or more block-in to block-out shall be located in a metropolitan area served by that airport or in an alternate location in a mutually agreed upon comparable hotel."
That's the language in the CBA. Most of our long layover hotels are located downtown although there are some exceptions. ORD (Rosemont) and IAH (the Galleria) are two examples that come to mind. Although not located downtown technically, they are nice hotels in good locations that have been signed off on by the hotel committee.
