Our Bermuda Cruise sailed out of Manhattan, which we visited ahead of our New England Cruise in 2017. Alaska Airlines flies to JFK while Southwest only flies to LaGuardia and Newark. Kenyon mentioned visiting the iconic TWA Hotel and it was decided we would skip NYC a second time and stay at the TWA Hotel near the JFK airport. It was a fantastic decision!
From the moment you walk into the hotel lobby, the 1962
theme was sprinkled throughout. The
elevators, the rooms, the cocktail lounges, and the restaurant.
There is even an old plane converted into a cocktail
lounge. It is a cool experience.
We booked a terminal 5 runway view room and had the best
time entertaining ourselves with the planes flying in/out.
The rooftop pool also had runway views, a restaurant, and bar.
If you ever get a chance to visit…do it! It was expensive but worth it.
My travel research uncovered we were only seven miles from the
New York Elks Lodge…the #1 Elks Lodge which was founded 157 years ago. Now, it isn’t the original location, which
was Times Square. But the memorabilia and
the members are the heart of the Elks, and you can feel it. We had a great visit and it was also a
highlight of the trip.
Our next cruise isn’t until August 2026 and, in the meantime, we have some US trips on the books.
