The World’s First Space Hotel to Open in 2027
If you're looking to give your post-pandemic travel plans a boost, consider space — as in "outer space." By 2027, you could be blasting off to the very first luxury space hotel, Voyager Station.

Construction on the space hotel is expected to begin in 2026. "We're trying to make the public realize that this golden age of space travel is just around the corner. It's coming. It's coming fast," Blincow recently told CNN. The 280-guest, 112-crew-member hotel promises to deliver an otherworldly experience, quite literally. Renderings of the future space hotel resemble any luxury Earth-bound hotel, just with better views. Guests can expect hotel suites designed in a soothing, warm palette, along with chic bars and restaurants — where they might find elevated twists on traditional "space food" — like freeze-dried ice cream. Recreational activities will be designed to take advantage of weightlessness and reduced gravity. For example, you can jump higher, lift things or run in ways that are not possible on Earth.
