747 Hotel

Spending $20,000 on a First Class Suite may sound luxurious, but it’s definitely not as unique as this place. Opened in 2008, the Jumbo Hostel at Arlanda Airport near Stockholm, Sweden, is a hostel located inside a decommissioned 747-200 jetliner. The Jumbo Hostel has 27 rooms with three beds in each and its more expensive “cockpit suite” located on the upper deck. Altogether the hostel holds 79 beds. All rooms have a flat screen television where guests can watch the times of departure for all flights. Throughout the jetliner guests have access to wireless broadband. All rooms share a shower and toilet in the corridor, except for the cockpit suite and a single person room which features their own. Click here to view the first image in this week’s WINS gallery.
