Unusual Hotel: Boeing 727 Suite in Costa Verde Hotel, Costa Rica

Built out of a vintage 1965 Boeing 727 air frame, the airplane has been revamped to create a luxurious hotel suite. The aircraft was a part of South Africa air in her previous life. 

The remodeled jet's interior is Costa Rican teak paneling. Furnishings are hand carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia.

This airplane features two air conditioned bedrooms-one with two queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath-a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area, an ocean view terrace, a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase and a 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.

The pieces of the air frame were transported on five big trucks from San Jose airport to the jungles of Manuel Antonio.
