Hotel Suites
Hotel Suites is an East German airplane, which has been decorated into a super delux hotel suite. Composited next to the Teuge Airport in The Netherlands, this spectacular suite comes complete with all the amenities — including a cockpit where you can watch the planes land and take off. All of this comes at a fairly reasonable price of 350 Euro per night; you even have a 24-hour on-call air hostess.
The airplane hotel offers a jacuzzi, shower, infrared sauna, 3 flat screen televisions, blu-ray DVD player with a comprehensive collection of DVDs, a pantry, free wifi, air conditioning and more. In addition the hotel can served as a meeting place, so jet-setting business types can fly into the airport, park their jet alongside it and hop into the meeting.
The plane is an Ilyushin 18 that was built in 1960 and was used to transport some of the big wigs of the DDR until 1964. Then for 22 years the plane flew passengers for Interflug to Cuba, Russia, China and Vietnam. Before being turned into a hotel room, the 40 meter long plane was renovated and utilized as a restaurant for 15 years. It is slightly strange and a little over the top, but is probably a fun night’s stay, especially for airplane aficionados.
