Boeing 747 Gets Converted into a Full Functioning Hotel

How would you like to spend the night in a Boeing 747? Well, lot of you would reject this offer since they immediately picture an eight-hour flight where they are cramped into small seats, but here us out. There is a Boeing 747 in Stockholm where you can peacefully spend the night and even enjoy doing that since the plane was converted into a full functioning hotel named Jumbostay. 

After Swedish airline Transjet went bankrupt in 2002, they have left their planes sitting at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm. Back in 2009, man named Oscar Diös decided to purchase one Boeing 747 plane and converted it into a hotel with 33 rooms and 76 beds. Visitors can choose several options in the establishment, starting from various single and hostel-types of rooms to cockpit turned into a suite.

To create the perfect setting, many of the plane’s original features were kept and incorporated into the hotel’s interior, while staff in Jumbostay wears stewards’ uniforms and is all referred to as cabin crew.
