Also: Marriott's new extended-stay brand [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY May 3, 2023 Behind the scenes at American Airlines' headquarters There’s a new hotel in Texas that’s now accepting guests, and the 600-room property has all of the high-end perks you’d want. There’s just one catch: You can’t book a room there. But at TPG, we love to take you behind the scenes of all things aviation, so I recently took a trip down to Texas to do just that. The hotel, Skyview 6, is on the American Airlines campus and is open to crew members only. American Airlines crew members will check in when they’re in town for training and other classes they need to keep their qualifications current. But just because you can’t stay there doesn’t mean you can’t get a glimpse of what this swanky crew hotel is like.
