TWA Hotel Runway Chalet at The Pool Bar 3

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.

Take a look at TWA's new rooftop chalet bar:

The Runway Chalet is adjacent to TWA Hotel's 95-degree infinity pool-cuzzi, so you can top off your experience with a pre- or post-drink swim.

Visitors and guests can also visit TWA's new ground-level ice rink.

TWA debuted its Runway Rink in November. The rink is open seven days a week and located next to the hotel's airplane cocktail lounge. Adult admission is $15.

The Runway Chalet and Runway Rink join TWA's year-round offerings, including the Paris Café restaurant by Jean-Georges, the cocktail-focused Sunken Lounge, and exhibits dedicated to the history of TWA, the Jet Age, and mid-century modern design.
