Jumbo Hostel –the world’s first hostel housed in a Boeing 747

If you rplane is grounded, you have a flight leaving in the early wee hours, or just want a unique night’s sleep, this jumbo jet has been reconstructed and is now a 25-room boutique hotel—with substantial bathroom improvements, and even an elevator. There is a cafe, with a basic menu, or options for heating up your own food

Most of the rooms offer 3 bunk beds or you can spring for the cockpit suite- which includes access to the upper-deck lounge and a great view of all the airport action.

Aircraft Hotel

If you're thinking to yourself, "that's sort of a small window for a luxury hotel suite," well, you're right. But it's only because this room occupies the entirety of a repurposed Cold War-era East German aircraft. More images after the break...

OK, the view isn't anything special: the plane stays grounded outside the Teuge airport in the Netherlands. But the room itself, dubbed the Vliegtuigsuite, is spectacular, including three flat screen TVs, a Blu-ray player, a sauna, and a jacuzzi. Guests have access to the entire plane, from your king-size bed in the back all the way up to the cockpit. On Dec. 7th 2007 I post Plane Restaurent and this time a plane hotel, the world is really amazing.
