Thankfully, some top-gun brands have come to the rescue.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Like just about everyone else in the travel industry, we\u2019re anxiously awaiting the debut of the <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/twahotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TWA Hotel<\/a>, the crown jewel of New York City&#8217;s JFK Airport. Scheduled to open in 2019, it&#8217;s a restoration of Eero Saarinen\u2019s landmark 1962 TWA Flight Center, whose mid-century majesty will also feature the genius of Charles Eames, Raymond Loewy, and Warren Platner. More than ever, we could use an ambitiously swoopy exercise in Jet-Age confidence, and the fact that it\u2019s an airport hotel should put certain enduring stereotypes about the form firmly to bed.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not sure when it became common knowledge that an airport hotel must necessarily disappoint, but allow us to set the record straight: if there\u2019s any hotel genre in need of rescuing, it\u2019s this one, and a handful of respectable brands have set about doing just that. We\u2019re surprised it\u2019s taken this long, frankly, as business travelers have both the need and the inclination to keep it close to the runway on last-minute, high-stakes trips. As long as the soundproofing is, well, sound, we can\u2019t complain \u2014 it beats a red-eye any day of the week.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Naumi Auckland Airport<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Auckland, New Zealand<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/auckland-hotels\/naumi-auckland-airport\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/033118\/NaumiAuckland.jpg\" alt=\"Naumi Auckland Airport - boutique hotel in Auckland\" width=\"960\" height=\"515\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re passing through Auckland, there&#8217;s a better-than-even chance you&#8217;re destined for some sort of adventure.
