Designed by Tony Holmsten and reimagined by Hashem Al-Ghaili, the ambitious concept combines a giant cruise ship and an airplane. The result is a flying hotel capable of accommodating over 5,000 guests. Passengers will have a private bedroom, living room, and bathroom in the sky upon purchasing a ticket.
The huge hotel has a capacity of 5000 guests.
The Sky Cruise Hotel boasts a plethora of amenities, from an observation tower with 360° views for stargazing to an entertainment floor with shops, a gym, a cinema, restaurants, and even a wedding reception center.
In a rendering of the aircraft posted on YouTube, Al-Ghaili explains that the flying hotel will be nuclear-powered and equipped with 20 supersonic engines, allowing the aircraft to operate in the air for years without carbon emissions. This means that routine operations such as refueling and maintenance checks will be performed while the aircraft is in operation. More importantly, passengers will be picked up and dropped off by private jets right at the hotel.
The aircraft is entirely powered by nuclear technology and energy.
The flying hotel won't even require pilots. "This is the future of transportation," Al-Ghaili said. Instead, Sky Cruise is set to be fully automated by artificial intelligence (AI). Passengers worried about traveling to areas with unstable climates won't need to worry, as the aircraft will also be equipped with state-of-the-art navigation systems to predict weather patterns and ensure a smooth journey.
Although no launch date has been set for the flying hotel, it has already caused a stir on social media. Many science enthusiasts have pointed out the plan's impracticality. One user commented, "The designers forgot that this thing has to fly," while another added, "If physics and aerodynamics didn't exist, this ship could actually take off."
With all the amenities, this is the future of the tourism industry.
