TWA Hotel, JFK Airport

TWA Hotel is the only on-site accommodation at JFK, but that’s unlikely to bother you. Housed in the former Trans World Airlines terminal, it’s as much an experience as it is a place to stay. Inside, the hotel reflects the 1960s view of the future, taking you right back to this golden age of aviation. From the rooftop pool, you can watch planes taxiing along the runway and baggage handlers loading up the holds of giant jumbo jets. You’ll certainly feel closer to the tarmac than you would be in the departures lounge – and don’t worry about those deafening engines; the windows’ thick double-glazed glass will ensure you recover from your jet lag in no time.
