What are Minute Suites?
Minute Suites are private suites that can provide a quiet, private place to work, sleep and generally unwind before or between flights. Each suite has a daybed, desk, television and chair. Blankets and pillows are also available to request. Additional items like beverages, snacks and travel essentials are available to purchase.
The founders of Minute Suites aimed for a quiet space that would encourage travelers to sleep when they wanted to find some rest in the airport. There are various Minute Suites locations in airports throughout the United States. Most locations are open 24 hours a day and can provide a convenient, clean, safe space to spend the night without ever leaving the airport.
