A stay in a historic hotel in the TWA terminal building in New York City.

Unique in its kind, this hotel, opened in May 2019, is housed in the terminal of the TWA, the airline that went bankrupt after the September 11 attacks, and whose president was none other than Howard Hughes. The architect Eero Saarinen is responsible for this avant-garde, curved building, which was inaugurated in 1962 and listed as a historical heritage site. Staying at the TWA Hotel is like going back to the 1960s, with retro decor and period objects. Bonus: you can watch the planes take off from the pool!

Definitely worth a visit even if you’re not staying here. This is a celebration of the 60s and Air travel - TWA style.

The hotel is a showcase of 60s schtick. From old school beauty salon to a Twister room. The rooms are retro but modern.

There is also a great rooftop pool. Heated. Check it out and watch the jets take off.

A 24-hour food area serving many different styles.

If you’re stuck at Terminal 5 (Jet Blue) take a visit back in time and see this great building. It’s connected to the terminal.

If not in terminal 5 - just jump the AirTrain.

Our stay at the TWA Hotel was absolutely memorable! The hotel brilliantly captures the essence of the jet age, making the nostalgia factor a huge hit with our family. Beyond the charming theme, the hotel excels in all areas—comfort, cleanliness, and service were all top-notch. The convenience of its location within the airport cannot be overstated, making early morning flights a breeze. This is not just a stay but an experience—highly recommended for anyone traveling through or looking for a unique getaway!

I went here to check out the old terminal which is STUNNING. Got some souvenirs and the. Headed to the pool. It's $50 for an hour n 45 but it was off season so there was no urgency and I got in a little early. I got a tequila sunrise and it was $19. Not great but expected for a rooftop airplane pool. ???? You have to reserve pool time online in advance. It's heated. There is food at the pool but I think it's just pool food. I saw chips and hot dogs....
The staff here is so helpful and kind. Made me feel very welcomed.
There's no showers just a bathroom to change in.

I have one complaint but legit- lt's the whole airport..... This whole place is cashless. Even the bars in the airport make you order online and it's a REAL PAIN to pay cash. You have to wait for a manager to scan the QR code on your order before anything even happens. I left two bars bc of the long wait no manager ever came to scan my code to put my order on. This place was 100% cashless, the bar stuff happened in the actual airport terminal.

Amazing place, perfect to wait out between two flights even overnight from any terminal in JFK airport thanks to free air rail transportation. The only issue is the price, a little too high for what it is. Except that, the place is unique, full of history, and offers lot of entertainment. Must visit even when only transiting between flights, and stay if possible!
