After hours couped up in a plane the last place I would have thought that anyone would have wanted to sleep would have been in another plane. But the Swedish designer, Oscar Dios, thinks otherwise and is in the process of fitting-out a retired Boeing 747 as a hotel. The thirty year old aircaft will be known as the “Jumbo Hostel” when it starts taking the fare-paying public again.
Stockholm Jumbo Hostel
Jumbo Hostel Interior
It has twenty five rooms, including the deluxe Cockpit Suite. The normal rooms will have three people, in bunks, to a room and each room will have shared bathrooms and showers. Flat-screen televisions in each room will double as arrival/departure boards – just right for the plane-spotters.
There are more Jumbo Hostel photos [^] at Wired, and there is more information at Official Jumbo Hostel Website [^].
