Boeing 747 jumbo jet converted into hostel.

A hostel in a jumbo jet? That makes sense. Hostels and planes have a lot in common - cramped, uncomfortable space, limited entertainment, bad food, smelly people with too much luggage... But put these two things together and you've got awesomeness. From Gadling:
In December, Stockholm airport will be home to the first Boeing 747 hostel in the world. This 747-200 was built in 1976 and is currently being converted into a 25 room hostel with 3 beds per room.

Each room features a flat panel TV, wireless Internet access and a shared shower/toilet facility. The upper deck of this 747 has several more luxurious rooms with their own bathroom facility. For the ultimate in overnight luxury, you will even be able to spend the night in the cockpit, where you can enjoy a fantastic view of the air traffic at Stockholm's Arlanda airport.
More info is at the "Jumbo Hostel" official website.

Didn't this clever idea happen first in a movie starring Snoop Dogg, Lil John, and Method Man? I think the movie is called Soul Plane.
