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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. But if somebody is dreaming why they're taking a good night sleep and the plane is taking off

  6. 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!

  7. 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?
