Hotels near Piedmont Triad International Airport

Piedmont Triad International is about 12 miles (a 17-minute drive) from downtown Greensboro, with no dedicated rail or bus links: you'll need a car, rideshare, or the hotel shuttle. Those with an early flight or a short layover save time by staying in the airport area, where some properties are just minutes from the terminal with a free shuttle. Travelers after a higher-end stay built around the kitchen at Green Valley Grill will find two of North Carolina's best hotels in the Wendover neighborhood, though everything else requires a car. Anyone who wants to walk to the restaurants and offices of the historic downtown should choose downtown, farther from the terminal but lively at night.
