First look at The TWA Hotel

512-rooms make up the accommodation options which have a heavy focus on the 1960s. Vintage-inspired interiors such as the walnut martini bar and tambour walls have been brought up-to-date thanks to modern Knoll furnishings, and the amazing views of the runways are sure to please all aircraft lovers.
 
If you’re worried about noise, there’s no need to be as the rooms have a glass curtain wall which uses material that is the second thickest in the world after the wall at the U.S. Embassy in London. Seven panes and four-and-a-half inches thick… you won’t be able to hear a thing! Pamper and refresh yourself before catching your flight or heading to Manhattan by simply sliding the barn door that leads onto an exquisite terrazzo-tiled bathroom. Complete with bubble lights around the mirror for an extra throwback to old Hollywood, you can truly let relaxation take over. Free international and local calls courtesy of a 1950s rotary telephone ensure you can keep family and friends back home informed of your travels, too.

It isn’t just the living quarters that will blow you away. The hotel also boasts 50,000-square feet of meetings and event space, a 10,000-square foot fitness centre and a choice of six dining destinations. One of the most notable is Connie Airplane. This cocktail lounge has been crafted out of an old ‘Connie’ Lockheed Constellation which broke the era’s transcontinental speed record in 1946 and has become an iconic vessel ever since. Now, it’s fully restored and features a fantastic range of vintage-inspired cocktails and the chance to press the buttons and steer the controls in the original cockpit. Alternatively, this hotel also gives you the chance to plane spot courtesy of the observation deck that looks out onto the runways, shop in the high-end boutiques or take a dip in the rooftop swimming pool… the choice is yours.
