The TWA Hotel at JFK Airport is truly something special.
Located right on the runway, staying at this hotel is like a front-row seat for the airport’s bustling activity show.
This unique hotel offers a historic design, front-row runway views, and gives a 1960s ambiance.

Fascinating TWA hotel at JFK Airport
A video giving a tour of the hotel is uploaded on the ‘heymeagan’ Instagram account.
We have seen hotels with breathtaking views of seas and mountains, but TWA’s perspective of a perfect view is quite different.
Housed just by the side of runways, guests are offered a continuous plane spotting experience.
The hotel is a part of the iconic Trans World Airlines (TWA) Flight Center, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1962.
This perfect layover spot has a 1960s charm, featuring vintage cars, retro furniture, and original TWA items.
The nostalgic atmosphere is enhanced by a museum dedicated to Eero Saarinen’s design and the history of TWA.
There’s also a rooftop infinity pool from where you can watch the flights take off and land for hours.
Hotels can be truly amazing, just like this one or the world’s most expensive underwater hotel built in the Maldives.
A perfect place for stay and plane spotting
The dining options at the hotel are also nothing short of luxury.
From Paris Café by Jean-Georges to Connie Cocktail Lounge, located inside a restored 1958 Lockheed Constellation airplane, it’s a perfect spot for dining and drinking with a touch of aviation history.
Let’s not forget about the 10,000-square-foot fitness center, one of the largest hotel gyms in the world.
A separate 50,000 square feet of area is reserved for events, ballrooms, and outside terraces.
As beautiful as its name, the Sunken Lounge at TWA is your ultimate spot to sink into deep relaxation.
Besides aviation, TWA’s dedication to its vintage car design is noteworthy, much like a unique hotel in Germany that has beds made from cars.
So if you ever get the chance to visit the JFK Airport, don’t miss your chance to experience the uniqueness of TWA hotel.
