Jumbostay has been on the tarmac of Arlanda Airport, Stockholm, since 2009. The Boeing 747 plane was built in 1976, and was last operated by Transjet, a Swedish airline that went bankrupt in 2002. It was converted by owner Oscar Diös into a functioning hotel.
It has 33 rooms and 76 beds. Guests can choose from the engine rooms – which are converted under the wings, to hostel-style beds, single rooms and the cockpit suite.
Booking the cockpit suite gets you exclusive access to the VIP lounge. The original airline seats are still in place, as well as bar, drawers and magazines. The control panel above the bed is still in place, and the room also has an ensuite.
Jumbostay’s staff are all referred to as cabin crew, and wear stewards’ uniforms. The plane is within easy reach of Arlanda Airport train station, and can be accessed by a free shuttle bus.

What It’s Like To Sleep In A Boeing 747 Hotel Room
50 Comments
boeing needs to stop looking into the 737 max and look into this.
Too bad you couldn't get into the engine rooms. I was especially curious about those rooms as they seem like they'd be super cramped.

If she's going to present, she should really address her lisp.
Imagine staying in the cockpit suite and you joke with your loved one “hey Rachel look I’m going to fly the plane” and you switch some lever and the plane turns on and the plane takes off you start flying.
I wonder what the price is for a night?
THERES CIVILIZATION
are u telling me that you have been lost?
i think there is a good opportunity with the deadly 737 max8 to become hotels… 😎
I would love to stay at this 747 Hotel.
careThe 737 MAX 8 should be converted into hotels. Much safer!
Is there wifi?
There were no CRT displays for this generation of planes…
My brother’s gonna go crazy with the cockpit cuz he’s addicted to planes
Wow, cool!!! I have some property in Appalachia, will eventually build a house on it…. I should, instead, simply offer to “store” one of Quantas’ many disused 747-400s.
Next is a hotel converted into a plane
How can I sleep if the airplane is near to the runway 🛫 😂
Boeing wants your location
A hotel for rich people
I thought it said 737 million dollar hotel
Instructions unclear I bought a second hand 747-4
Shared bathroom? Nope.
Where is this located. I wanna stay here
pessoas doentes
So malaysia flight 370 didnt crash at all
Imagine Living in a plane engine
An AvGeeks dream place to stay. Next to the TWA Hotel. ❤️
thats a great idea.
Wut
3:35 what is that rats nest of wires?
If it had a pool and gym that would have been something.
I'd love to be hosted on the cockpit room!
I'd be like a child playing with the yoke and the buttons and the throttle…
So what's the next project a beautiful room with the view and a tank
But if somebody is dreaming why they're taking a good night sleep and the plane is taking off
yes
Imagine if you were able to still fly that.
I can say it was so so comfortable to stay here! We stayed in the black box suite absolutely stunning! Would stay again in a heartbeat!
How much?
U could waste money if u scrap it
When emirates retires its first A380 they should build a hotel as well from its fuselage.
That last little fun fact is what got my like
I don't know why it's warm here… Maybe because the plane was made to stay warm in the cabin and the cockpit in excess of 40,000 feet?
Ive been there
따뜻한 마음
미프진약효♥카톡CBVG♥

Anybody knows the cost per night and is it also partly a museum?
Anyone else already know this from Kara and Nate’s channel?
Sidemen?
I've booked the cockpit room for next February ✈
