- Step back in time with us for the ULTIMATE TOUR of The TWA Hotel at New York's JFK Airport. At the centre of the hotel is Eero Saarinen’s iconic TWA Flight Center, where restaurants, bars and retail outlets have taken flight. Two hotel wings, designed to reflect and defer to the landmark TWA Flight Center, sit behind the historic building and contain 512 guest rooms with views of JFK’s runways and the TWA Flight Center. There's also the Classic Solari split-flap message board with authentic original mechanical operation manufactured in Udine, Italy and the world's biggest hotel gym: a 10,000-square-foot fitness centre
We'll take you on a tour around this magnificent building from the bedrooms that overlook the runway at JFK then onto The Paris Café where chef Jean-Georges serves his specialties and The Sunken Lounge where you can drink in the spirit of the glamorous Sixties with retro cocktails and swizzle sticks once enjoyed in-flight. The onto the Food Hall where you can enjoy timeless treats! The TWA Hotel serves grab-and-go fare for your entire crew.
Take a look around A Lockheed Constellation "Connie" L-1649A transformed into a cocktail lounge. A 1958 Connie airplane - which served as an Alaskan bush plane shuttling supplies to Prudhoe Bay and a marijuana dropper after retiring from TWA! - seats 75 guests. Connie serves cocktails and light snacks. Try the Vodka is My Co-Pilot, Connie's take on a martini.
Watch from the rooftop infinity pool and observation deck as jets take off for faraway lands while you relax with a cocktail and a swim, it's cool and refreshing. In the winter, it turns into a pool-cuzzi and is heated up to 95 degrees every day! Our Pool Bar serves mile-high cocktails and delicious fare year-round.
There's also a mass of Nostalgia that will take you back in time. A flight attendant’s log detailing five years of airborne adventures. Vintage furniture from the TWA headquarters. In-flight amenities - gilded playing cards, silver serving ware - from a more elegant era. These are just some of the items showcased at the TWA Hotel. The New-York Historical Society - founded in 1804 as New York’s first museum - curated the exhibits, which are free of charge and always open to the public.
Located in various spots throughout the former TWA terminal - the heart of the hotel - as well as in our event centre and in the areas that connect our hotel flight tubes to JetBlue's Terminal 5, the exhibits allow visitors to experience the Jet Age through authentic artefacts, interactive displays and personal narratives.
Exhibits focus on TWA’s history - including Howard Hughes’ tenure as owner - and Eero Saarinen’s development of the terminal at Idlewild Airport (as JFK was formerly known). The offices of both men are recreated with period-perfect details, inviting guests to imagine themselves at Saarinen's drafting table or behind Hughes's desk.
Visitors can explore 37 full TWA uniforms from 1945 to 2001, original TWA travel posters by David Klein and large-scale TWA artefacts (a luggage tug!). In an authentic recreation of a 1962 living room, guests are encouraged to try on retro fashions, admire an original Barbie Dreamhouse and enjoy the far-out furnishings. Future exhibits will delve into the dawn of the Jet Age in NYC and the midcentury modern design movement.
This iconic building which has now been transformed into an Aviation Geek's Dream was also used as the backdrop in the movie Catch Me if You Can starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
Take off on a guided tour and also back in time to the 1960's. Sit back, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the movie.

Martin is a proper character always up for a laugh 😂
I have so enjoyed Martin telling us all the facts! He did it so well. I love this friendship! Xx
Shout out to the Silver Fox too! Well in.
Wow lee this is the best Vlog I have ever watched from you! I have been a plane geek since the early eighties, my parents regularly took me to Newcastle Airport so I could watch the planes and collect the postcards of the different airlines, many dont exist now, British Caledonian, Orion, loved it and you and Martin have a great ambience on screen keep them up xx
Always fab with Martin in it. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
Really loved this vlog what a cool nostalgic place to go too, big up for Martin #Silverfox for choosing it. Great we're they have kept it the way it was just adding to it. 10/10 for it looking forward to seeing what else you two get upto Lee no more budgie smugglers 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤣 xx
From all us aviation geeks, I love it, has to be done!
What an awesome place,a lot of history
What a great idea of Martin's. Fabulous vlog ,throughly enjoyed your coverage . Looking forward to the " Lads on Tour do Nashville " 🤣🤣
Best vlog you have done awesome makes a change from the food reviews 😂
they make a great couple , Martin killed it in this vlog,he should do more presenting and get his own channel , great chemistry
Martin reminds me of Hughie Green from Opportunity Knocks minus the man-bun lol 😆
👍🏾 to the Silver Fox Great Host we loved the tour
The TWA hotel has been on my bucket list for ages. Your video didn't disappoint. It's awesome! You really captured the feel of the place. Thank you
One of the best videos I’ve seen in ages. Cheers Lee.
Thank You :0)
That looked amazing mate. Thank you both for sharing👍
This was hands down the best vlog you’ve ever ever done. It was amazing. The music everything. Plus Martin. Well what can a say. He’s a natural funny guy and makes the vlogs so good.x Can’t wait till Nashville
The memorabilia was awesome especially the old record player with the Buddy Holly album, and it was only just down the road from me that just outside clear lake IA is where Buddy Holly's plain went down where we lost Buddy and Richie Valens and the Big Bopper after it took off from Mason city airport
The silver fox is the best he makes me laugh all the time great guy legend 👏
"TWA, the most wonderful way to fly" my first airline to the USA ♥️
Arguably, the “BEST” video on RUclips regarding the “TWA” hotel. Nobody can replace the “Silver Fox”. I’ll be staying there in October but it is “pricey”, however, it’s only marginally more expensive than other area hotels. Nice video.
Thank you. 😎
apart from the porn-star budgie smugglers i agree
When air travel was glamorous 👍
WONDERFUL VIDEO YOU AND MARTIN MAKE A GREAT TEAM 👍👍REALLY INTERESTING WATCH 👍👍THANKS AM WATCHING AT 5am 😀👍😀
Early bird. 😊

Well worth the visit Lee, Martins guided tours has been born 👍😎I myself love anything retro, better days indeed.
OMG, Lee. Those budgie smugglers was a throw back to the past. 😂
Best vlog youve ever produced Mac, great to interact with randon characters. Dont drop auld FOXY TAIL, he loves all this stuff, hes a natural!!! Encore....... more, more!!!!! Stay well bud, god bless!!!!!
As a "miliary brat," we flew back from England to McGuire Airbase/Airport, February of '63, on a USAF Connie. Flying up in the upper air, wasn't too bad for the time we were travelling.

Great vlog Lee….I loved it, fabulous hotel, great nostalgia, great editing and so funny……..brilliant 👍👍👍
Wow best Vlog yet ! Great entertainment and informative at the same time. Proper pal's having a jolly old time. Never heard of this iconic hotel till now, well worth a visit. Thank you Lee, Martin and Daisy.
That is a brilliant building and its so great its a survivor. I'd have thought in the States it would have been knocked down and replaced with a godawful Mall or Casino so top marks for the developers.
I once stayed at a hotel where in the hotel next door they had a powercut so the one we were in accepted guests from the one next door for meals and to the bar..... there was a training course for a certain national carrier which had lots of cabin crew - I was in my early 20's unmarried and its a family channel so I will say it was fun and leave it there
Very cool! 😎
You certainly have a way with the ladies. Smooth.
Luv the speedos! 🩲
Absolutely love Martin he is so funny. Lee those trunks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I almost choked on my sandwich seeing u in those 😲😲😲🤣🤣🤣🤣 First thing that came into my mind was Terry Scott in Carry on up the jungle playing Tarzan 🤣🤣🤣.
That TWA hotel was amazing, everyone seemed so friendly. Glad you both enjoyed the stay at the TWA Hotel. Silver fox u are one awesome guy, oh so are u Lee, but please no more Tarzan idea's ok 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Loved that hotel Lee,iconic and brought back memories of TWA at Manchester Airport! A trip back in time you could say ! Thanks for that ! 👍🙂

The TWA is on my aviation bucket list. Thanks for sharing and reminding me it's time I crossed it off.
That was Fantastic.
Thank you.
We were just talking about this vlog. Would love to stay there.
This was fantastic thanks for showing us this place 😀 👌
Very entertaining, right up my street...thanks! Excellent job by you and your mate. Liked, subscribed, bell, little thing down there all done.
Looks like a Hard days night there.. brilliant, love the exit from the plane 🍷
So glad you mentioned this video yesterday. I agree that it was one of your best vlogs and can't believe you haven't got more views and likes. Lots of fun and no repeating comments in your commentary along with great editing. I must have travelled through that terminal when arriving on one of the first flights of the TWA 747 service from Heathrow to JFK but my recollections have faded.
Thanks David. I really enjoyed making this vlog. My favourite. 🕶️😊
