Next time you’re in Stockholm and need a place to lay your head, you won’t have to look too far from the airport. A Swedish aircraft is set to become the world’s first airplane hotel.

British newspaper The Independent reports that the Boeing 747 will be renamed the Jumbo Hotel, and will be located at Stockholm-Arlanda airport.

Each of the 25 rooms in the hotel will be around 65 square-feet in size, complete with bunk beds, flat-screen televisions and overhead lockers for luggage.

Claude Dios, the entrepreneur behind the unique hotel, told the newspaper confirmed that the hotel already has 200 bookings.

“The inside looks very nice and we have designed it in a cool 1970s style. All the staff will wear classic airline uniforms. The plane has space for 74 guests but we are building more rooms in the engine bays beneath the wings, so that number will soon be 82.”
