A very special hotel room design – spending the night in a helicopter

There are probably a whole range of unusual places and exciting alternatives to the hotel where you can stay. It has now become a trend to travel and spend a night or two in an unusual place. This is called “glamping”, which means camping in a cooler way. The term comes from English. The abbreviation stands for “glamorous camping” and describes camping with a certain luxury factor. The range of such unusual accommodations is particularly large in Great Britain and the USA. Below we report on a very special hotel room design in Stirling, Scotland.

Has anyone ever imagined spending the night in a helicopter? The Mains Farm team came up with a very special hotel room design in a Sea King ZA127 military helicopter. In addition, the location where the helicopter is placed is quite unusual for a holiday - a farm in Thornhill, Stirling, Scotland. However, you can, of all things, insuch an environmentEscape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax perfectly in this quiet, fresh, green atmosphere.

From the outside, the helicopter looks as if it landed on the meadow a few minutes ago. The interior impresses with a special hotel room design where you can spend the night in comfort. The helicopter cabin is equipped with a minibar and two upholstered armchairs. You can enjoy the beautiful view through the glass dome with a glass of wine or champagne in your hand. Inside, the room has been completely remodeled and there is almost no trace of the former military equipment. The interior is designed entirely in light colors and therefore appears extremely positive and inviting. The walls and ceiling are covered with wooden slats and painted white. Only the military-blue floor covering evokes associations with the room's former purpose.

The available space is optimized and perfectly equipped with functional and practical built-in furniture. There is a small kitchenette with everything you need to prepare a delicious breakfast - refrigerator, sink, electric stove and microwave. Maybe the necessary ingredients are already in the fridge. The wall shelves made of natural wood and the house plants create a cozy atmosphere. The special hotel room offers a total of 5 beds - a double bed and 3 more beds, which are arranged in an imaginative and space-saving U-shape as benches.

Energy efficiency and a good indoor climate are also ensured. The helicopter is completely insulated from the inside and also covered with wood. This keeps the room relatively cool in summer and warm in winter. AtMains Farmyou can find out more about the project or book the extraordinary hotel room for your next vacation.
