Situated close to The Netherlands’ largest worldwide airport, Corendon Amsterdam New-West, a Tribute Portfolio Resort has 680 visitor rooms and two decommissioned Boeing passenger planes. One is on the market for particular occasions, whereas the opposite is hooked up to the one-of-a-kind 737 Suite with bellhops that promise to not lose your baggage.
An aviation lover’s dream, the 1291-square-foot suite has a king-sized mattress, kitchen, lounge, and a toilet plus two half-baths. Overnighters can entry the jet’s cockpit and first two rows to snoop inside compartments, push buttons, ignore “fasten your seatbelts” indicators, and eat tasty room service meals (no lukewarm trays right here).
The lodge’s different stationary aircraft is a Boeing 747-400 — the previous KLM plane referred to as “Metropolis of Bangkok” — which first flew in 1989 and retired after 30 years of service. Throughout every day excursions at 10 a.m., guests can sit within the cockpit and passenger seats and see the place flight crews used to sleep.
