The architecture
Eero Saarinen’s 1962 TWA Flight Center forms the public centerpiece. Its sweeping concrete shapes and sunken lounge retain the optimism of mid-century aviation design.
Inside the property
Two hotel wings behind the historic building contain 512 rooms. The separation allows the original flight center to remain the visual focus.
Location & surroundings
Located at JFK Airport, the hotel is connected to Terminal 5 through the historic flight tubes. Runway views are part of its airport setting.
Details that define it
Museum displays cover TWA and the jet age. A restored Lockheed Constellation has a second life as a lounge, and the rooftop pool looks toward the runways.
