The actual terminal was opened in 1962 , landmarked in 1994 and the hotel opened in 2019..The building was designed by Eero Saarinen, Finnish Architect,son of the Architect Eliel Saarinen ......the red carpet was a theme in the original terminal also..note that the terminal has a bird wing shape...the carpet was to be the flow through the body....for many years the building sat empty after 2001....I had visited the active terminal when I was younger ..it was fabulous then....still fabulous now...

Great tour, Tim! I stayed at the TWA in Oct. 2022 for the photo ops and it didn't disappoint! I did not book the Presidential Suite, chose a room on opposite side for a view of the hotel itself as opposed to the runways. I was there for the architecture! Combined it with a tour of Brooklyn Bridge (again, photo ops). Cabbed into Brooklyn, there's a cab stand outside the hotel. Reasoning that I'd be stuck in awful traffic to return I hopped a helicopter (Blade) back to JFK (10 min. from midtown Manhattan!) and they even provide a luxe suv straight to the hotel. I'm a child of the 60's so this retro hotel was a dream come true! I did miss having water and coffee provided in my room. But overall a cool experience! BTW, the Lincoln convertible parked outside the TWA Hotel is a restored '63 Continental painted "Kennedy Blue" - a blue created specifically for JFK's presidential limo.

It still has trains but the main concourse was destroyed, unfortunately (and these incredible murals were transfered to our airport. ) WE need to preserve classic architecture..

I remember going to this TWA terminal back in August 1977' to see my uncle Paul and his family off (they were moving to Phoenix AZ). I remember my cousin Sonia had ordered bagel (I had never heard of one before that). I was 12 years old and still remember the round penny sized white tile, that red carpeting in the long corridor, the clock and the arrivals and departure board. I am sure we were they at least an hour or two since I can remember so much of the detail.

I traveled though this terminal as a kid in the sixties and seventies. Great to see it restored
