Corendon Boeing 747 Hotel?

Former KLM's Boeing 747-400 made it's final resting place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands almost coming to a year since it made it's final resting place for the Queen of the Skies. PH-BFH originally delivered & brand new to KLM in June 1989 naming her City of Bangkok. KLM's final flight of this 747 from Los Angeles, USA back to Amsterdam in 25th November 2018 making her 30 years old.


KLM immediately withdrawn's City of Bangkok the day after it made it's final flight from LAX & the final disassembly began to become a hotel by Corendon Village Hotel. In February 2019 PH-BFH was completed in full Corendon livery & now converted as a hotel room where it's final resting place right next to the building of  the hotel.

The only thing KLM removed is the engine as you can see it's not real. 


From distance, it's a very beautiful looking jumbo jet. As you get closer it seems like you are boarding the aircraft via remote stand, After looking for some research inside this 747 as a hotel I couldn't find any images what it looks like. Sadly I didn't get a chance to get in but hey, it's a wonderful looking Queen of the Skies.  


This is not the only aircraft that's turned into a hotel. In mid 2010's a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 was converted into an apartment for Airbnb.com it looks like living inside the MD-11 for life.


You can now book your room on the Corendon website for a large fee to stay inside a Boeing 747 aircraft. The aircraft is located at Schipol Airport next to Ibis Budget. Once you walk through a tunnel, you should be able to see the Queen of the Skies looking right at you.
