Closure of Jumbo Stay Hotel

The Jumbo Stay Hotel, located at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, has recently closed its doors after filing for bankruptcy, with its last operation date being March 17, 2025. Known for its unique accommodation inside a retired Boeing 747, the hotel failed to compete with new hospitality options in the area and suffered significant revenue decline over recent years. The hotel reported a decrease in revenue from 8 million SEK in 2019 to just 4 million SEK by 2023, prompting concerns about sustainability and profitability. Attempts to find a buyer for the property have been complicated by a lack of lease agreements from the airport operator, Swedavia, limiting future operational possibilities. This closure marks the end of an era for aviation enthusiasts who cherished the novelty of staying within a plane at the airport, a unique experience that is unlikely to be replicated by future hotel developments.
