How awesome is this?
In Costa Rica you can stay in a hotel suite (727 Fuselage Home) made out of a renovated 1965 Boeing 727 airplane!
Here is the room description on the Costa Verde website:
“Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia. Our 727 home features two air conditioned bedrooms–one with two queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath—a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view terrace; a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens…Enjoy an evening on the terrace while sipping a glass of wine and observing your tree top neighbors: sloths, toucans and monkeys.”
As one commenter on Toxel’s article said, “I want this to be my house.”
As I am sure you guessed, something this awesome isn’t cheap: rates run $500 a night regularly and $400 a night in the off season. But if I had money? I’d totally be there.

Hmm. No thanks. The wood floors are nice though.

Nope

I like it… but not for that price.

No. Think of how cramped planes are anyway, even in first class, and think of how low the ceilings are. I’m 5’8″ and I’d get claustrophobic. It’d be like staying in a super long hallway.

Too pricy, but I love it!

Nice! Just saw an old photo in my aunt’s photo album though, there was/is a restaurant in Indonesia where people dine as passengers. Uber cool! Think it >s this.
