In both cases I was accommodated in the airline's own hotel adjacent to the airport. You go to the layover office on the second level of the main terminal (past immigration and customs) and present your travel documents. There is a shuttle bus in front that transfers you to the hotel. Vouchers for cafeteria-style meals in the hotel also are provided, but they also have a full-service restaurant, café and bar on the premises.
