The TWA terminal at New York’s Kennedy Airport closed in 2001, but now it's sprung back to life as a swanky hotel
-- no taxi required.
This is good news for architecture buffs and for preservationists alike, since there had been rumors that the long-empty terminal was going to be razed. Until now, few visitors had been able to access the TWA Terminal following its closure -- just the occasional lucky traveler who was able to snag a ticket to an event through New York City's annual Open House Weekend.
The hotel is set in two low-rise buildings and its guest rooms feature Knoll furnishings and old Hollywood-inspired interiors. The hotel also offers 50,000 square feet of conference, event and meeting space.
"The attention to the smallest of details permeates the entire guest room experience, paying homage to the magnificent landmark and special time in American history."Still, don't expect the hotel to feel too much like a period piece: There are plenty of spots to charge your phone, which is practically required at a place so ready for Instagram.
