727 Fuselage Home
Hotel Costa Verde is proud
to present its newest lodgings:
The fully outfitted, meticulously
detailed, two bedroom, Boeing 727 fuselage suite. We have
refurbished a vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, which in its
prior life shuttled globetrotters on South Africa Air and
Avianca Airlines (Colombia).
Our phoenix is now ready for its future
duty as the most exclusive hotel suite in Costa Rica.

We salvaged this airframe, piece by piece, 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 hard wood deck built atop the
plane's former right wing. The plane's
interior is Costa Rican teak paneling from the
cockpit to the tail. Furnishings are
hand-carved, teak furniture from Java,
Indonesia. Our 727 home features two air
conditioned bedrooms--one with two queen sized
beds and the other with one queen sized bed,
each with its own private bath—a flat screen TV,
a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view
terrace; a private entrance up a river rock,
spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding
gardens. |
Enjoy
an evening on the terrace while sipping a glass of wine and
observing your tree top neighbors: sloths, toucans and
monkeys................
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! Of course, we were intrigued
and found some new ways to introduce convenience and luxury
to this very prosaic bit of aluminum scrap. We are sure that
you will agree with us!
