    Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica offers lodgings inside this Boeing 727 jet.




Turning jets into accommodations seems to be gaining popularity these days.

There’s the 747 jumbo jet hotel in Stockholm.

And another 747 was turned into a Malibu home.

The latest is a Boeing 727 that’s been made into luxury hotel lodgings in Costa Rica.

Hotel Costa Verde rents out this 727 for $300 to $350 nightly.

The Boeing jet now features teak wood interior with two air conditioned bedrooms, kitchenette and TV.

Best of all: the view. The jet sits on a 50-foot pedestal overlooking a national park in Costa Rica. Its private balcony has ocean view.

The hotel encourages guests to “Enjoy an evening on the terrace while sipping a glass of wine and observing your tree top neighbors: sloths, toucans and monkeys................”
