Is that an Aircraft Hotel?

Excerpt via Freshhome:

“Up for some unusual accommodation? Or perhaps you would like to catch up on your History lessons in an unconventional way. Either way, for today we’ve prepared something unexpected: a plane dating back to The Cold War that was transformed into a luxurious and intimate hotel. The aircraft had a capacity of 120 seats and was recycled and rearranged until it became a comfortable retreat for two. This odd looking suite has it all: an all-equipped kitchen, with furniture that blends in the plane’s wings, a 100% functional bathroom, a reading-room and a bedroom with typical furniture. The only place that was not remodeled was the pilot’s cabin, which is probably for the best, stating the aircraft’s authenticity and not making it lose its true nature.”
