Although we’re unsure about the validity of this project – we wanted to report on it anyway because the concept is interesting. When we envision the future we imagine things like this. The Hotelicopter is a converted soviet-made Mil V-12. While many of the airline carriers are super sizing their jets to create more comfortable accomodations, the Hotelicopter presents something a little more committed to the idea of sleeping & relaxing while flying.

As reported by their website: “The Hotelicopter features 18 luxuriously-appointed rooms for adrenaline junkies seeking a truly unique and memorable travel experience. Each soundproofed room is equipped with a queen-sized bed, fine linens, a mini-bar, coffee machine, wireless internet access, and all the luxurious appointments you’d expect from a flying five star hotel. Room service is available one hour after liftoff and prior to landing.” Click Read More for additional information, photos and a video.
