Our take
TWA Hotel is the airport hotel at JFK that is worth staying in for its own sake: a chic conversion of a former terminal, an outdoor pool with runway views, dining, a bar and a fitness center, with the airport about six minutes away by public transport. I would choose it for a layover you want to enjoy, especially with children or a pet, rather than for a quick sleep at the lowest cost.
- Use the public transport connection for quick and easy access to your terminal, it's only 6 minutes away.
- Book a room with runway views if you want to fully experience the unique airport setting.
- Allow time to explore the hotel's retro design and amenities, especially the pool area.
