Washington Dulles is a big international airport, but easier to navigate with one centralized terminal. For an early morning flight, or after a long international flight, plan to stay in a hotel at the airport.
Here's Travel for Kids list of best family hotels convenient to Washington Dulles Airport.
Hotels are selected for their amenities for families, such as indoor swimming pools, on-site restaurants with children's menu, breakfast included in room rate, coin-operated laundry, and more. Hotel policies can change, however, so be sure to check with the hotel at the time you make your reservation to be sure your desired family amenities are still available.
