About Venue

The TWA Hotel offers 50,000 square feet of midcentury modern-inspired event space at JFK International Airport in New York, set within the landmark former TWA terminal — one of the most iconic pieces of airport architecture in the world, designed by Eero Saarinen and opened in 1962.

With 45 event rooms and five hospitality suites, the venue can host up to 1,600 guests across spaces that range from a 6,000-square-foot divisible ballroom to boardrooms, Skyboxes, an original 1958 Lockheed Constellation airplane on the tarmac, and a rooftop infinity pool. Outdoor terraces and an observation deck overlooking JFK's runways and Jamaica Bay add a dimension that no other event venue in the New York area can offer.

Events are fully customisable, from cocktail receptions to four-course dinners, with a kosher kitchen available alongside the full professional kitchen. The events centre runs on 5GB Wi-Fi and is staffed by dedicated onsite event planners and day-of meeting concierges. When the event is over, 512 ultra-quiet guestrooms are available for overnight stays, along with a 24-hour fitness centre, rooftop pool, and discounted parking.
