- 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
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
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
Probably the best you tube video
IN THE WORLD!
What a great idea of Martin's. Fabulous vlog ,throughly enjoyed your coverage . Looking forward to the " Lads on Tour do Nashville " 🤣🤣
Shout out to the Silver Fox too! Well in.
Always fab with Martin in it. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
they make a great couple , Martin killed it in this vlog,he should do more presenting and get his own channel , great chemistry
Arguably, the “BEST” video on CZcams 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
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
Well worth the visit Lee, Martins guided tours has been born 👍😎I myself love anything retro, better days indeed.
That looked amazing mate. Thank you both for sharing👍
Up, up and away! Excellent venue & tour. Definately one of your best, enhanced by guest contributions and cool 60's sounds. Thanks!

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 this video. Turned 80 last Thursday and that memorabilia from back in the 50's and 60's brought back pleasant memories of my youth. Just love videos you do with the #silverfox you are perfect together.
Happy belated birthday !
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.
What a cool place to hang out! Still looks futuristic today!👍
Think you were getting a bit hammered Lee
On Connie! Fun time lads! Great job to you both, loved it!👍👏👏👏👏😊
Mister Macmaster what an excellent vlog...got to be up.there with the best you done..
🤣👍
What a fantastic place and a very enjoyable vid, Martin is a natural vlogger like your good self lee 😁, well done lads 😊👍😎
Best one yet. You were both obviously having a great time
Excellent video of the hotel Mr MacMaster. You've really captured its nostalgic, retro and art deco chatacter. Also at the beginning that music you chose was brilliant! (A Warm Welcome by Martin Landstrom). So fitting and appropriate to give it that 60s feel. Superb! I'll now continue catching up with your vlogs so I may have a few more much belated comments on the way! 10+/10 for this video. Cheers Mr MacMaster 👍.
I nearly choked when you appeared in those budgie smugglers. Definitely a wardrobe malfunction lol. Brilliant video.
Great vlog. My favourite so far. What a team.
Very cool! 😎
You certainly have a way with the ladies. Smooth.
Luv the speedos! 🩲
what an amazing hotel lee thanks for sharing your experience, and thanks to the silver fox for explaining about the history. i have been to many cities in the world but New York, is the best
Wow I could spend days looking around there. Fascinating:) historical place huggles xxxx
The TWA is on my aviation bucket list. Thanks for sharing and reminding me it's time I crossed it off.
OMG, Lee. Those budgie smugglers was a throw back to the past. 😂
Oh this is amazing. Has to be done!
I think this is your best to date. Admittingly I am a self professed aviation geek but this is up there in the top five along with the Vegas Burger stream and the worst restaurant in London. getting your bottoms slapped in Vegas was hilarious. Keep up the good work, always look forward to the next one!
Martin is truly in his element here 🥰
What an absolutely fantastic vid. Definitely one of your best!
Very entertaining, right up my street...thanks! Excellent job by you and your mate. Liked, subscribed, bell, little thing down there all done.
Lee you’re a top bloke but loved Martin in this. His swagger, accent, intelligence and attitude is infectious. Would love to see more videos of him showing you what he is interested in. You’ve w too mate there 👍
You’ve a top mate there*
And lastly, no doubt this was an expensive video to produce but it’s one of your best recently with the chemistry and interesting footage!

Absolutely fantastic video Lee and Martin the ending hilarious 🤣🤣👏👏👏👏

Absolutely loved this, want to stay there! You two have great chemistry on the vlogs. Looking forward to Nashville shenanigans :)
WOW so very awesome that this was turned into a hotel very smart money wise and good use of the building and of course convenience for travelers to stay at a hotel right at JFK. I will check it out next time i fly to New York. Thanks for the info
That's got to be the best airport hotel in the world ,unbelievable ✈️✈️
That pants at the end made me lol so loud!
Looks absolutely amazing; great camera work on this one as well MM. Added to my list of places to go.
A piece of the past? You mean a ponytail !!! Hahaha great post 📫 👏

Got to say I love all your foodie vids but you and martin doing this sort of thing was probs one of the best ones I've watched well done boys so much history and character and you captured it all martin was a great host aswell you two should defo do more vids like this well done boys ✅✅
That was fun. A nice change from the foody stuff.
Mac I have a short story, but when I was in rehab in 2017 my dream was to go to NYC, I was at deaths door when I said I want to get sober and go up the Empire State, if I remained sober, I would take myself there. In April I am going, and I am staying in this hotel for my first 2 nights. It is booked (booked today) Watching this video again now to get myself excited. I will rewatch some of your NYC videos as a guide. This is my dream trip, but I know your videos will help plan my 10 days. Terrified of flying too, but your videos have reassured me its fine, I will be fine. Flying is fun even if i get dodgy food it will be fun 🙂
You will have a fantastic time. The hotel BTW is amazing!!!! You really are gonna love it. ❤️
Martin reminds me of Hughie Green from Opportunity Knocks minus the man-bun lol 😆
Wow! Great video vlog of what looks like the most amazing hotel. This was put together so well Lee and Martin was just epic in this. You should do more videos like this and Martin deserves his own channel he is so good in front of camera. I love all that 60s vibe and retro stuff. I didn’t even know this hotel existed it’s amazing. 100% thumbs up from me in this one 👍Incidentally there is a unique form of transport in the St Louis Arch, the only one of its kind in the world as far as I know…not an elevator but a tram to the top!
That was Fantastic.
Thank you.
What a cool place. I'm impressed with Martin's presentation skills.
Wow! What a fab place. Martin is after your channel lol! He is a natural and it was very enjoyable watching you two. Don't you dare sack him lol! 😂 He keeps you on your toes. Brilliant!! 😂 Great information! Very different and so interesting. Thanks again Lee for sharing. 🥰🌞🥰
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. 🕶️😊
Wow. Seen plenty of reviews on this place (it's on my bucket list for my NYC return). This has been the best so far. Really great content and excellent production. Respect where it's due. Nice one.
Thank you. 😎
Sat here in lovey warm Doncaster watching you 2 awsome . Enjoy the experience drinks and onwards awsome. Brilliant
Brilliant vlog Lee and the silver fox 👍 Looking forward to Nashville. we went to Nashville Kentucky and Virginia in October 2019.keep up the great work guys 🥃😎
