Costa Rican Airplane Hotel

For most travelers, an airplane is a way to get to a destination — but for the folks staying at Costa Verde Hotel, the destination is the airplane.

The airframe was salvaged piece by piece from the San Jose, Costa Rica airport. Each piece was individually transported through the jungle and reassembled on a 50-foot pedestal. While it's not thoroughly green, with teak furnishings shipped over from Costa Rica, it'd sure make for a memorable trip.
