It’s official: The TWA Hotel will start taking reservations on February 14, in anticipation of a soft opening on May 15. According to developer MCR, the only way to book a room will be through the hotel’s official website. Rooms will start at $249/night.
Connected to Eero Saarinen's TWA Flight Center, the new TWA Hotel plays up its architectural history — from the authentic Saarinen-designed Womb Chairs in each guest room to the rotary telephones.
The four-star plus hotel is equipped with contemporary amenities, like 512 “ultra-quiet” guest rooms, that are inspired by the 1960s, with soundproof glass, conference space for up to 1,400 people, a museum devoted to the Jet Age, and a rooftop observation deck and pool:and a cocktail lounge located inside a decommissioned Lockheed Constellation plane, known as Connie, to name a few.

The TWA Flight Center, closed in 2001, has been in works for some time: The Port Authority awarding the contract to MCR Development in 2015.
“Restoring the TWA Hotel is a labor of love for our entire team,” Morse said in a statement. “We are counting down the days until the landmark building, dark since 2001, is filled with life again.”
