JAKARTA - Many hotels offer natural views such as mountains, rivers, or beaches on Earth. But this one actually offers the sensation of lodging in space like astronauts.

It is a company called the Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC) that develops the construction of a space hotel. This plan will start in 2025, the hotel will be placed in low Earth orbit.

In fact, the hotel is a Voyager Class Space Station which will open to the public in 2027. OAC revealed that the space hotel will be used for research purposes from the space agency as well as tourists who want to enjoy new experiences.

"The station will be designed to accommodate national space agencies conducting research in low gravity and space tourists who want to experience life in a large space station with the comfort of low gravity and a good hotel feel", said the OAC.

The hotel can accommodate as many as 400 visitors. The facilities presented are not much different from those on Earth, such as restaurants and gyms, as reported by The Independent, Wednesday, March 13.

The shape of the hotel also looks like a giant ring. On the inside, there is a function for the docking hub. While on the outside there is a solar panel, a place to stay, a transportation system, and a radiator.

On the outside, there are pods that can serve various purposes such as research, training, and so on for tourist accommodation and lodging facilities. To generate gravity on the inside, the hotel will move in a circle.

However, it is not yet known how much it costs for tourists who want to stay at this sophisticated hotel.

Not only hotel facilities, but this place also presents an attractive vacation spot in the form of a cruise ship that is equipped with a robot bartender named Rob. The robot will be one of the MSC Virtuosa crew. Tourists can also order various types of drinks from Rob.
