Traveling by plane

The AirTrain is the fastest and easiest way to get to the TWA Hotel. It is a 5-minute ride from all terminals to the TWA Hotel at the Terminal 5 stop. JFK Airport does not allow hotel or rental car shuttles in the central terminal area to alleviate traffic on central terminal roadways.

To reach the TWA Hotel, exit the AirTrain at the Terminal 5 (JetBlue) stop and follow the signs to the escalator or elevator on the same level as the train platform. Take the escalator or elevator up to Level 3 (Terminal 5). Exit through the automatic sliding doors to the Yellow Parking Garage, walk across the crosswalk and take the elevator down to Level 1. Walk across the crosswalk, turn right and follow the fence-lined path. At the end of the path, walk across the crosswalk, turn right and follow the sidewalk to the front entrance of the TWA Hotel. The check-in area is to the left when you walk in the lobby. Please note this route is covered until the last crosswalk; the crosswalk and sidewalk are uncovered until the front of the hotel.

Alternatively, you can walk indoors through the airport to the TWA Hotel. When you exit the AirTrain at the Terminal 5 (JetBlue) stop, follow the signs to the escalator or elevator on the same level as the train platform. Take the escalator or elevator up to Level 3 (Terminal 5). Follow the hall opposite of the sliding doors to the end and take the escalator or elevator down to the JetBlue's baggage claim area on the ground floor. On the far right, you'll see an elevator for the TWA Hotel. Take the elevator up to the hotel. Once out of the elevator, follow the red-carpeted flight tube to the hotel lobby. Turn right immediately after exiting the flight tube and follow the ramp down and to the left to reach the check-in area.
