Aviation fans might already know about the unique Jumbo Stay Hotel in Sweden, a quirky accommodation option that was once a Boeing 747. This iconic aircraft-turned-hotel was conveniently located next to Stockholm Arlanda Airport, offering a truly memorable stay for over 15 years. Unfortunately, the hotel had to close its doors earlier this year after the operator filed for bankruptcy, marking the end of an era for this aviation marvel.
I remember first hearing about the Jumbo Stay Hotel and being fascinated by the idea of sleeping inside a jumbo jet without ever leaving the ground. The hotel offered a range of rooms, from budget dormitory-style spaces to more luxurious suites in the cockpit, complete with panoramic views. It was a dream come true for aviation enthusiasts and travelers looking for a unique experience. Watching B-roll footage from channels like Trainy Plany on YouTube really brought the experience to life, showcasing the hotel’s charm and the novelty of its setting.
The closure of the Jumbo Stay Hotel is a loss for the travel community, especially for those who love aviation-themed adventures. It was more than just a place to sleep; it was a destination in itself, offering a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of a 747 in a whole new way. While it’s sad to see it go, the memories and stories from those who stayed there will undoubtedly keep its spirit alive.
