TWA Hotel @ JFK Airport

Opened in May 2019, the TWA Hotel is NYC’s newest, and by far most luxurious, airport hotel. The rooftop infinity pool and observation deck, which overlooks JFK’s runway, is open year-round and in winter, the pool will turn into a ‘pool-cuzzi.’ The iconic architecture of the TWA terminal @ JFK is a landmark known by every true New Yorker and it is exciting to see it come to life again, with full 1960’s retro everything, and the world’s "quietest hotel rooms." The 512-room hotel offers multiple dining options, including a lounge by the Gerber group, a Jean-Georges restaurant and the Connie Bar cocktail lounge, housed in a converted Lockheed Constellation plane.
