This Refurbished Vintage 1965 Boeing 727 Airframe Will Make You Feel Like You’re Flying

The 727 Fuselage Home also known as “OurX phoenix” is a refurbished airframe that is the most exclusive hotel suite in Costa Rica. We have refurbished a vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, which, in its prior life, shuttled globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines (Colombia). This fully outfitted, meticulously detailed, two-bedroom, Boeing 727 fuselage suite jets out from the jungle canopy, affording you views that will make you feel like you’re flying.

We salvaged this airframe from its San Jose airport-resting place. We carefully transported the pieces on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo hotel suite. Our classic airplane, nestled on the edge of the National Park in our Costa Verde II area, is perched on a 50-foot pedestal. At this height, you will enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from the hardwood deck built atop the plane’s former right-wing.

Our refurbished Boeing 727 home is not the only such dwelling in the world: We were inspired by a Forbes Magazine article about a company offering hurricane-proof living via surplus Boeing 727 airframes! We were intrigued and found some new ways to introduce convenience and luxury to this very prosaic bit of aluminum scrap.

Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia. Our 727 home features two air-conditioned bedrooms–one with two queen sized beds. The other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath, a flat screen TV. Other amenities such as a kitchenette with microwave, dining area foyer, an ocean view terrace, a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase, and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.

Costa Verda is located on a coastal rainforest bluff nestled between the lush green of Manuel Antonio National Park and the incredible blue of the Pacific Ocean. The resort is home to one of the world’s most unusual hotel suites. Suc as the famous refurbished Boeing 727 Fuselage Home airframe (built-in 1965)
