If you’re a fan of Mad Men or anything related to mid-century modern architecture and design, this will be right up your alley. The new TWA Hotel will open in May 2019 at New York’s JFK Airport, and it’ll be a serious throwback to the early 1960s.

The TWA terminal opened at JFK in 1962 and was designed by renowned modern architect Eero Saarinen. The terminal was listed as a New York City landmark in 1994 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, a few years after it closed in 2001.

The new hotel will feature 512 rooms that have a 1960s era vibe and will transport guests to the glory days of commercial flying.
