Choosing JFK airport parking at the TWA Hotel gives travelers access to far more than a conventional place to leave the car. The property occupies Eero Saarinen’s restored 1962 TWA Flight Center, an architectural landmark from the golden age of air travel. Parking customers do not need an overnight hotel reservation to explore the soaring lobby and its museum exhibits, which include vintage TWA uniforms, original travel posters and artifacts from the Jet Age.

This is particularly useful when an early arrival, delayed flight or late return leaves extra time at JFK. Visitors can see the original mechanical Solari departures board, relax in the iconic Sunken Lounge or step aboard “Connie,” a restored 1958 Lockheed Constellation transformed into a cocktail lounge. Several grab-and-go food options also operate around the clock. Since the TWA Hotel is JFK’s only on-airport hotel and is located directly at Terminal 5, it offers a distinctive alternative to parking at a typical remote airport lot. Restaurant, lounge and exhibit hours may vary.
