Description
The TWA Hotel at JFK Airport is a stunning tribute to mid-century modern architecture, housed in the iconic Trans World Airlines Flight Center, designed by Eero Saarinen and opened in 1962. The building, renowned for its sleek, winged design, served as the terminal for TWA until 2001, and its revival as a hotel in 2019 preserves its unique retro charm while adding contemporary luxury. Visitors are transported back to the golden age of aviation, with the hotel offering period-appropriate decor, vintage furniture, and a series of nods to the 1960s, all while providing modern amenities like rooftop pools and chic dining options.
Beyond the hotel’s architecture, the TWA Hotel stands as a cultural landmark, celebrating the spirit of air travel from the mid-20th century. The property features the restored Connie, a 1958 Lockheed Constellation airplane that’s been converted into a cocktail lounge. Whether staying for the night or simply enjoying a meal at the Paris Cafe, the TWA Hotel immerses guests in a nostalgic yet timeless experience that captures the glamour and excitement of travel from a bygone era.
