FAQs About TWA Hotel
Is the hotel inside of the airport?
Yes. Trans World Airlines building, or TWA, closed its doors at the turn of the century because it had no capacity for modern-sized airplanes. The site reopened in 2019 as a hotel operating near Terminal 5—where Jet Blue operates.
How do you get to the TWA hotel?
The TWA Hotel is in Terminal 5 at the JFK Airport. You can reach the hotel by tunnel or elevator or by following signs throughout the hotel for directions. If driving, enter the airport at One Idlewild Drive and follow signs for Terminal 5 to the main entrance. You can take a shuttle from JFK Terminal 4 to TWA Hotel, located right beside it, in Terminal 5. If driving a rental car, follow along the JFK access road and turn right into Terminal 5. Follow signs for TWA.
How far is TWA hotel from main NYC destinations?
Travelers looking to enjoy some of New York City’s main attractions and destinations will be pleased to find that Times Square is a quick 45-minute jaunt away. Those looking to explore off-the-beaten-path can count on attractions like the Brooklyn Museum, Queens Botanical Garden, The Louis Armstrong House, Flux Factory, and more to keep entertained.
What is the plane outside TWA Hotel at Kennedy Airport Terminal?
The 1958 Lockheed Constellation (Connie for short) was a 75-seater Alaskan bush airplane that frequented Trans World Airlines while shuttling supplies to Prudhoe Bay decades ago.
