Jumbo Hostel

As if Sweden weren't cool enough, I recently saw a report about a 747 that has been converted into a hostel. Located at Arlanda Airport, about 42 km north of Stockholm, the Jumbo Hostel is a fascinating example of creative thinking. And honestly, if you have to stay at an airport hotel, what could be cooler than staying in one that used to fly?



Cockpit Suite


Double room


Amazing transformation

I wouldn't want to spend my entire visit to Stockholm having to travel back and forth to the airport, but a couple nights in a converted 747 would definitely be on the agenda.

Details about room types and prices are available here.

    This is a great idea. Hotel or house.

    Dude, that's way too much money. How about those planes sitting out there in the desert? http://www.desertusa.com/mag06/apr/airplane.html
    I didn't see any prices anywhere, but I have always been fascinated by the thought of an airplane graveyard. Take a road trip Marty and maybe you could just "borrow" one. ;-)
