World’s first space hotel plans to open by 2030 with rooms and a bar overlooking Earth

A hotel in space sounds like something out of a sci-fi film, but one company is looking to make it a reality by 2030.

Space construction company The Gateway Foundation has shared a sneak peek video with designs of what guests could expect from the hotel, and it’s pretty impressive.

We’re talking luxurious bedrooms (with views of outer space of course), restaurants, a gym and even a space where guests could enjoy live events such as sports and concerts.

Dubbed the Voyager Station, it’s definitely a stay that looks out of this world (sorry, we had to!).

There’s set to be a large lounge bar with heaps of seating and a viewing area where you can look out to outer space and views of the Earth below, as well as a restaurant serving up gourmet dishes as well as the views.

The hotel rooms will have everything you’d expect from a luxury hotel including double beds, ensuite bathrooms and windows also offering space views.

The station is divided into 24 ‘pods’, each of which will have a dedicated function such as hotel rooms, food (restaurant and the kitchens), live events and some that are for the station’s functionalities such as air, water and power.
