Abandoned Airport Terminal Turns Into £200m Hotel

People are lounging by the rooftop pool at the TWA Hotel.

A former airport terminal was changed into a luxury hotel after a £200m restoration.

The TWA Hotel opened in 2019 with a rooftop pool and great views of the airport. It was originally a TWA flight terminal designed by Eero Saarinen.

The hotel has 512 rooms in two buildings at the old terminal.

Designers worked hard to make it look like it did when it first opened in 1962.

It was named one of the top five best airport hotels in the world.

The TWA Hotel is the only hotel at JFK International Airport.

The old terminal is now the lobby with a big gym and restaurants.

A 1958 plane was turned into a cocktail lounge with a museum inside.

Time magazine listed it as one of the world's greatest places in 2019.

A British travel YouTuber, Hannah Ricketts, visited the hotel.

She said the lobby was one of the coolest entrances she had seen.

The view from one of the rooms is very nice.

Hannah felt like she was in the past when she saw a vintage Coca Cola machine.

She paid $400 for a room with a view of the runway.

Hannah thought her room looked better in person than in pictures.

She felt like she was on the set of Mad Men because of the old details.

The Connie plane bar serves cocktails inside an old plane.

Hannah said she had never been anywhere like this before.

The swimming pool is very nice but costs $25 to use.

Hannah had a Mile-High Margarita on the plane cocktail lounge.

TWA Hotel is a unique place to stay.

Hannah did not like the food but loved the overall experience.

She said the hotel was better than many five-star hotels.
