Designed by famed Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen, the landmark terminal building put forth a bold, experimental vision of the future of flight when it debuted in 1962. With its magnificent sloping roof extending into two wings, the terminal also housed cutting-edge technology for the time, including jetways and baggage carousels. After the terminal's primary tenant, TWA, went bankrupt and merged with American Airlines in 2001, the building sat empty for nearly two decades. In 2019, it was converted into the retro-themed TWA Hotel that makes guests feel like they've stepped right back into the 1960s.
