BWI revives plan to build in-terminal hotel after pandemic pause

Plans to build a hotel within BWI Airport’s terminal are moving ahead again after being put on hold during the pandemic. Building a 200-room hotel on top of the airport is one of Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport’s future capital projects, Ricky Smith, the airport’s CEO, said during a talk to the BWI Business Partnership last week. Smith also offered updates on other current and future projects at the Anne Arundel County airport, including plans to connect its C and D concourses, construct a new air traffic control center and build an airline lounge, which would be BWI’s first.
