The TWA Hotel opened on May 15, 2019 and uses the head house of the former TWA Flight Center, designed in 1962 by the architect Eero Saarinen. During renovation two buildings on either side of the existing head house were added and now it contains a total of 512 rooms, as well as conference space, several restaurants, and an aviation history museum.
Many of the TWA Flight Center's original details, such as the custom ceramic floor tiles and the 486 variously-shaped window panels, were replaced with replicas of the originals. These details were intended to give the hotel a 1960s-era vibe, and include brass lighting, walnut-accented furnishings, and rotary phones. And wow, have they succeeded!
To top it all, the hotel also includes a cocktail lounge installed inside a preserved Lockheed L-1649 Starliner. The last model of the Lockheed Constellation line of airliners, and the lounge is fittingly nicknamed "Connie". This is one must-add destination for your travel itinerary.
