TWA Hotel

Designed by world-renowned architect Eero Saarinen and opened in 1962, the TWA Flight Center was built for Trans World Airlines (TWA) by Howard Hughes to represent the era’s excitement of travel.

The TWA Flight Center was designated a New York City landmark in 1994 and, after its 2001 closure, was listed on the National and New York State Registers of Historic Places in 2005. Saarinen’s masterpiece has taken flight once again as the heart of the TWA Hotel.

Two hotel wings, designed to reflect and defer to the landmark, sit behind the historic building. Our 512 guestrooms invite guests to settle into a classic Knoll womb chair and relax. Rooms boast enviable views of the historic Flight Center or JFK’s runways, while the world’s second-thickest glass curtain wall, ensure planes are seen but never heard.
