A word of warning: the airport hotel, which is airside, is usually fully booked a long time in advance. So unless you already have a confirmed reservation you are unlikely to get a room.
You give no information as to flight numbers, cabin class or OW status so my reply must be as vague as your question.
If you are traveling in J then you will have access to Al Mourjan lounge. The lounge has a number of private sleeping rooms which are on a first come first served basis.
If you are not in J then any lounge your OW status gives you access to has no sleeping rooms.
Sorry for not providing more detail, I am traveling in J so was planning on using the Al Mourjan lounge for dinner when we land. The Airport Hotel we were looking to book for the 6 hour stint if we couldn't find 2 open "sleeping rooms" in the lounge --- that's good information that it's usually sold out in advance. I'll send them an e-mail now to ask about getting the room for 6 hours (they require e-mail for the hourly rate it seems). I'm on an AA Award ticket, so unfortunately I don't qualify for the STPC.
Thanks for the input!!
