Boeing 747Businessman Oscar Dios has decided to stick with Stockholm’s rather odd and unconventional hotel traditions by opening a hostel. The actual hostel is not what is in question here but its location is quite unusual by traditional standards.

Set to open in May 2008, the hostel will be located inside of a converted Boeing 747. It will be nestled close by the Arlanda Airport in Uppsala along 273. Dios has been given the go ahead by airport owner LFV and the Swedish National Roads Administration to operate the hostel in this unique setting for as long as he wishes.

The Boeing 747 hostel sticks with the strange spirit that seems to follow Stockholm’s hotel scene. Other eccentric places to stay in Stockholm is the fully operational ship af Chapman and the old intact prison Langholmen.
