It’s not currently available for booking on or. You can book the TWA Hotel directly on the website. Best of all, you don’t have to be staying at the hotel to experience it anyone can come and have a look around. Visitors get to escape the chaos of Terminal 5 and go back in time to a glamorous era where everyone received the royal treatment when flying. OK, very excited.įor an aviation geek a visit to the TWA Hotel is like being a kid in a candy store. With the lyrics of “Downtown” playing in the background “The light’s so much brighter there, you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares…” I couldn’t help but feel inspired and a tad excited. If you’re an aviation geek like me then you’ll love this hotel – it really transports you back in time to the 1960s and the Jet Age, with tunes from the likes of Elvis and Petula Clark adding to the nostalgia.

I’m in love with it.Įero Saarinen not only designed some of the world’s most iconic furniture pieces he also happened to design the TWA Terminal, which is out-of-this-world. When I finally moved into my own place sans roommates, I decked my apartment in mid century modern pieces and found my very own authentic Eero Saarinen tulip table on Facebook Marketplace.

The TWA Hotel combines two of my main loves aviation and mid century modern furniture. Intrigued, I hopped on the Airtrain to Terminal 5 and followed the markers to the entrance. I had briefly seen pictures of this hotel on Instagram and when I found myself at JFK Terminal 4 for my Global Entry interview, I noticed signs around the terminal pointing to the TWA Hotel. I think I had more comments on my Instagram stories than anything else I’ve posted. I’ve just returned from a visit to the TWA Hotel and it’s one of the best things I’ve done in a while.
