With repurposing being the new planet-saving mantra around the globe, it was only about time before you saw aircrafts being saved from being sent to the junkyard and put to more aesthetic uses instead. Although, airliners aren’t particularly famous for providing passengers with the most serene sleeping experience, this Boeing 747 jumbo jet-turned-tourist-hostel begs to differ.
The Jumbo was decommissioned from service in 2002 after which the grounded jumbo was transformed into a hostel and now forms a popular tourist destination at the Arlanda Airport in Stockholm. It has been styled in the classic hostel theme complete with many types of rooms for all categories of visitors. The hostel features accommodation starting at US $62 with dormitory-style rooms which can house two to four people at a time. It also has private rooms that can cater to individuals, couples, and parties of up to three people.
The crème de la crème of the rooms in the hostel is the $515 per night Cockpit Suite which features two adjustable beds housed in the cockpit of the jet and provides guests with the most panoramic view onboard. Other notable rooms in the Jumbo hostel include the Jumbo Single ensuite room which is perfect for the frequent flyer businessman as well as the Double Black Box Suite which is located at the rear end of the plane and can easily cater to the needs of a small family.
The Jumbo Hostel provides an alternative to overnight accommodation at the airport and allows guests to appreciate the otherwise unnoticed beauty of Boeing 747.
