TWA Hotel

Watch planes take flight — without hearing them. Each of the TWA Hotel’s 1962-inspired guestrooms boasts floor-to-ceiling windows — the second-thickest in the world — with views of the former TWA terminal or nearby runways. Tap into free lightning fast Wi-Fi or go retro and make complimentary unlimited local and international calls from the vintage Western Electric 500 rotary phone in your room. Mix up a martini at a custom-built, fully-stocked walnut and brushed brass cocktail bar and kick back on authentic Eero Saarinen-designed midcentury modern Knoll furnishings. Or just dim the cabin lights, jet off to sleep on a deluxe mattress and awake refreshed and ready for your next adventure.

Sip a cocktail at The Sunken Lounge, dine at the Paris Café by Jean-Georges, or grab an Intelligentsia coffee and plane spot at the rooftop infinity pool and observation deck (it overlooks JFK’s bustling Runway 4 Left/22 Right, with views all the way to Jamaica Bay!). Need to work out some travel kinks? The hotel’s sprawling 10,000-square-foot fitness center — the world’s largest hotel gym — features a Peloton bike room, state-of-the-art equipment and personal trainers. Aviation fans will also enjoy viewing historical exhibits of retro TWA uniforms and dazzling David Klein travel artwork — or stepping aboard Connie, the Lockheed Constellation airplane that’s been transformed into a cocktail lounge. Looking to host a high-flying wedding, meeting or banquet? The 50,000-square-foot event and conference center can accommodate up to 1,400 people.
