About

TWA Hotel sits inside JFK Airport at Terminal 5, occupying the historic TWA Flight Center. This retro landmark isn't just an airport hotel — it's a destination with a cool lobby, an infinity pool overlooking the tarmac, and a direct passageway to JetBlue check-in. The 1960s design and memorabilia make it a unique kickstart to any trip.

"Plenty of memorabilia, lounge areas for drinks, and an infinity pool overlooking the busy terminal."

You'll find plenty of spots to grab a drink and soak in the mid-century vibe. It's family-friendly and pet-friendly, so you can bring the whole crew. While it's queer-friendly, the crowd is mixed and leans straight. Book a room if you want to be steps from your gate or have a layover that feels like a vacation.

A very stylish retro hotel located at JFK Terminal 5. If you're flying JetBlue, there's a direct walkway to check in. Plenty of memorabilia, lounge areas for drinks, and an infinity pool overlooking the busy terminal. A great way to start a vacation! The lobby is cool and amenities are nice.
