![]() The incredibly beautiful 1960's era Eero Saarinen-designed airport terminal at JFK has been revamped and reopened as the TWA Hotel.

![]() Just one concern about the TWA hotel....... Air Train breakdown
If Air Train doesn't work and it didn't the day I flew out from JFK earlier this month, you're going to have to take the JFK inter-terminal shuttle and fight with hundreds of people. On that day, the buses were in short supply. I didn't stay at TWA but checked-in earlier at T7 and wanted to air train over to check it out. The dis-organised bus system that day meant I'll visit it another time. If you're flying from T5 no issue but if you're flying from another terminal..... |

![]() As an historical building, architectural and aviation geeks will love this new TWA hotel. I love the rooftop pool and the runway view rooms. The drinks at the Connie are pricey but the experience is just amazing.
However, as a hotel, it fails miserably. There are lots of things that are not working. There are also services that should be provided, but not so. I also don't buy that self-check-in idea. TWA hotel is no YOTEL and does not price like YOTEL. Anyway, here is the link to the photo album for those who wants to take a look... http://s1213.photobucket.com/user/Ca...%20Hotel%20JFK |
