Wondering if anyone here knows of a good hotel with great airport views in the US? I want to plan a weekend trip where I can just sit in my hotel room, sip some wine(or beer) and watch the heavies day and night.

Don't know in the US...but at St. Maarten, Maho Hotel is the best for plane spotting....and spotting some interesting women

Unfortunately, if you just call a hotel near an airport and request a room with views of the runways, it may cause alarm...
But maybe you could find a floor layout of a hotel online and figure it out...

i would say if you want a weekend trip, try booking a flight to St Maarten and stay at a hotel there and spend the weekend on Maho Beach.  Ive wanted to do that for a long time, it seems like a perfect place to planespot.

yeah, thats what I was afraid of, calling a hotel and asking that question. As far as St. Maarten, I agree thats the ultimate vacation, but funds dont really provide for that at the moment. I work  for a big hotel company, and get unbelievable discounts at nice hotels, so that was going to help me out a lot. Thanks guys.

How about the Philadelphia Airport Marriott?  It over looks the airport.

Sure you can, the Renny in ATL caters to "spotters".

That "Renny" seems to be a great spot, thanks! I work for Hilton Hotels, that includes the Hilton, Embassy, Conrad, Hampton and Homewood hotels. But that Rennassaince is reasonable, so if Hilton doesnt have anything remotely close to that, I would definitely stay there. Thanks Citationpilot.
