"Catch me if you can!"
>
Slide from your flight straight into the hotel. So convenient!
Red carpet and retro futuristic lines everywhere
The rooms are small but perfect for a short layover stay
Benny boy wanted to be a jet pilot (turned out to be a jet set hotelier — and raver)
The gym is an attraction on its own. In fact, guests that are not booking a room for overnight can still get access and use it. It's massive and incredibly well equipped
Remember 'Catch me if you can' with Di Caprio?
Cute corner furnished with 1950-60s pieces
The flapping of the old-school timetable is so nostalgic and pretty cool
Who does not love a cinematic mirror?
Perennially busy check in area — it's JFK, baby!
Lobby bar and, right outside, a Lockheed Constellation "Connie" L-1649A plane transformed into a cocktail lounge
Highs & Lows
-
The convenience of sliding out of a flight and straight into a nicely designed hotel room is pretty amazing
-
The retro futuristic vibe and design are fun. We could see how lots of guests were staying over for the experience (and photos!)
-
The gym is just wow. It's massive, it's incredibly equipped, and it can be accessed via day passes too.

Alright, I know we're literally on the tarmac but perhaps the noise canceling windows could have been a tad more robust?
-
The price is a bit punchy
-
We hear the restaurants should be changing soon... We will be back to check some nicer and healthier food outlets

Yep, you are right inside the JFK airport so this says it all. All other hotels are, at least, 4 miles away. Once you land and get off your plane, catch the Air Train to Terminal 5 and the hotel is a short walk away. It is also connected to JFK's Terminal 5 via Saarinen’s iconic flight tubes.
