Recycled 747 Hostel
Stockholm Jumbo Hostel
If you are traveling to Stockholm you may be able to book your stay at a hostel very near the airport… Well actually at the airport. Jumbo Hostel is a recycled 747-200 which has cool sleeping accommodations. Would this building qualify as 100% recycled content? Could it get LEED certification?
I’m a pilot but I tend to fly in airplanes that get incredibly good mileage. I also stay in hostels around the globe and would find this one worth a visit. My only question is how do they get enough fresh air into the cabin? Maybe they can put operable windows in the sky lounge.
From Jumbo Hostel:
Welcome to one of the world’s coolest hostels! Here you can spend the night onboard a real jumbo jet – on the ground! Our different room categories can accommodate one to three adults in comfort as well as a quad dormitory bed option, all with separate shared shower and toilet facilities. We also offer a luxury suite in the converted cockpit with a panoramic view of the airport. At Jumbo Hostel you´re guaranteed a unique and outstanding experience at a reasonable price.
Better to end up a delux hostel than at the Mojave Boneyard.

In addition to a really interesting place to stay, it is also quite cheap (SEK 950 for a single room, SEK 1000 for a twin), with prices including free internet and breakfast, unlike at many conventional hotels.
