In this video, join me for a stay at the iconic TWA Hotel and explore all the amazing features in this AvGeek friendly hotel. It has some of the coolest aviation feature include the best JFK airport spotting location.

TWA Hotel is a hotel at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York that opened on May 15, 2019. It utilizes the headhouse of the TWA Flight Center airline terminal, designed in 1962 by the architect Eero Saarinen.

JFK TWA Hotel !!!

this would have been so much better with 4! exclamation points.    FYI

"There seems to be an inordinate number of exclamation points."

[SaveFerris]

It was cold so I put my sweater on!!!

"There seems to be an inordinate number of exclamation points."

They're real, and they're spectacular

[dp0622]

That last picture deserves a lot of exclamation marks as does this sentence!!!!!!

This is really cool.

I can’t remember the last time I was on a TWA flight.

I can’t remember the last time I was on a TWA flight.

no surprise, they died nearly 20 years ago.

this piece of fluff is just a hotel trying to draft TWA.

[wastedyears]

So if almost 20 years ago, that could be a few places.

So if almost 20 years ago, that could be a few places.

I suppose? and if almost 40 years ago that could be a few other places.

I seem to recall 3 or 4 years ago that this hopelessly early sixties-modern terminal was the main detractor at the airport. Now it’s cool?

[nuconvert]

It’s cool. Nice to see that they didn’t tear down that iconic building & found a use for it. Growing up, I passed by JFK almost every day
I didn’t see what the outside of the building with the actual hotel rooms looks like.

Thanks for posting. I’ll be passing on the link.

The St. Louis Airport Hilton is also a shine to TWA.
Every room and hallway feature pictures of smiling Hollywood stars on board or exiting TWA airplanes.
It’s very cool.

Would be a great place to stay one night...then it might get expensive. But still, mighty cool nostalgia.

Pan Am closed in the early 1990s. That’s where my memories are. Maybe a TWA/PanAm hotel could fetch more visitors. Those PanAm memories for some older than I include clipper service on big old sea planes that included sleeping facilities. Sleep-inducing engine sounds and gentle jostling were part of that experience, which easily could be re-created. (I don’t think TWA had that, least ways not that I saw).

I can’t remember the last time I was on a TWA flight.

I think mine was in 1989. Berlin to Frankfurt.

[VeniVidiVici]

Nope. Never mind. It was Pan Am :)

[Mr. Lucky]

What, are you kidding?!!!!

Cool. My first flight was on Northwest. I still remember the jingle from the commercials.

Northwest Orient....Airlines!
