It all began when Dutchman Ben Thijssen bought the 1960′s Ilyushin 18 vintage plane that used to transport former East German officials like Erich Honecker through the Cold War period to Cuba, Russia, China, and Vietnam until the late 1980′s and later got converted into a restaurant located in Harbke, in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

Thjissen paid 35.000 $ for it and invested around 640.000 $ to turn a four engine plane into a luxurious five star hotel with whirlpool, sauna, bar, kitchen, flat-screen televisions, and wireless Internet.

You can find Holland’s new Honecker Hotel at Teuge airport, just east of Amsterdam.

A night for two people in a 40 metre long suit costs you a bit less than 500$ and you could bring 15 people in total to reach the luxury hotel’s maximum of capacity.

The plane will never be ready for take off, but will let you feel like you were in heaven.
