TWA Hotel has debuted a ski-themed rooftop bar for the winter season.

The TWA Hotel at New York's JFK Airport has debuted a 1960s ski lodge-themed rooftop bar for the winter season.
TWA Hotel opened in May 2019 on the site of the former Trans World Airline terminal, which operated from 1962 to 2001. It is the only hotel located on the grounds of JFK.
The Runway Chalet at the Pool Bar is adjacent to TWA's heated rooftop infinity pool, boasts vintage ski decor, and offers a seasonal menu that includes spiked hot chocolate and fondue.

Flight delays due to bad weather are unfortunate, but less so at JFK's TWA Hotel.

The appropriately-named "Weather Delay," one of the custom cocktails served at TWA's brand new ski-themed rooftop getaway, helps take the edge off interrupted travel plans. The bar's classic and specialty house cocktails are $16 each, according to recent visitors .

Runway Chalet at the Pool Bar , designed to resemble a '60s-era ski lodge, beats waiting in your run-of-the-mill airport lounge, too.
