The hotel in space will be orbiting the
earth just like the ISS (International Space Station). It will fly 217 miles up
which should be more than enough for guests to take a good glimpse of the earth
and beyond. The company estimates that the route of the Commercial Space
Station will practically follow the current ISS plan.
While enjoying space flight and travel,
guests of the Commercial Space Station should be able to enjoy regular
amenities just like any hotel on land. The only difference is that no alcoholic
drinks will be allowed. The unique feature of the hotel is there is a choice of
horizontal or vertical positioning of beds. The hotel will have four cabins and
up to seven passengers can be on board.
To get to the hotel in space, tourists will
have to board the Soyuz Rocket. This part of travel alone could mean an
adventure of a lifetime as it tries to fly regular passengers into space.
Travel cost per passenger will be $410,000 and the hotel will cost a reported $165,000 per night. Although this sounds very expensive, it’s actually one of the most
affordable space-based vacation options currently under
development. Many have doubts about the cost especially with inflation but the
Russian company is confident with its plans and pricing.

The trip sounds fun although I won't be able to afford it unless something amazing happens in the next few years. My nly worry is what if something goes wrong, people could actually be lost in space.
Wow. That's a huge amount of money for transportation - $410,000 and one night at the hotel - $165,000. But I believe it can be a once in a lifetime experience for those who can afford it.
