The first Airplane hotel
Swedish architects Daniell Monsen and Thomes Blom partook in a novel design challenge when they were chosen to create the world’s first jumbo jet hotel which opened last month. Undergoing a complete overhall of its interior, the Jumbo Hotel, grounded at Stockholm Arlanda Airport , now accommodates 85 beds in 25 rooms of approximately 6 sq m. The Boeing 747 plane also contains separate bathrooms, a newly fitted seventies-retro lounge/reception area and retains many original features including business class seats and oxygen masks.

Both guests and visitors can enjoy breakfast and snacks in the onboard cafe, as well as being able to heat up your own in the jumbo’s microwaves! With rooms costing from just £28 the re-fit has turned a scrap-heap bound plane into one of Sweden’s newest landmark tourist attractions.
