Port Authority of New York and New Jersey mulling JFK Saarinen terminal hotel
February 8, 2011
The historic Trans World Airlines terminal designed by Eero Saarinen at New York-JFK may become the central component of a new boutique hotel, according to news reports.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates JFK, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty and Stewart Newburgh airports, is looking for developers to “turn the vacant TWA Flight Center into the centerpiece of a small, high-end hotel that would allow the agency to reopen the terminal and recoup some of the money it spent restoring it,” USA Today reported.
The Associated Press reported that while no timeline was given, the interior of the terminal space would serve as an entry way and lobby for the hotel with restaurants and shops.
