I was shocked to see a Boeing 737 plane in my hotel room — even the cockpit was fully operational

There’s nothing grounded about this aviation-themed hotel room.
A man went viral after showing off his hotel that had a giant airplane in the middle of it.
Ryan Guy felt like a “giant kid with a big toy” when he entered his hotel room to find a “fully functioning” plane next to the bed.
“It was so funny waking up, looking over and saying: “There’s a plane in my hotel room,” the 25-year-old personal trainer from Northern Ireland told What’s The Jam.
Guy posted a video to TikTok, which has garnered 24.5 million views, revealing the Boeing 737 during a “hotel room tour.”
The plane was complete with seats, lights that turn on and a full cockpit with buttons and controls that guests can “fiddle with.”
His stay at the Corendon New West hotel in Amsterdam, part of the Marriott group, was gifted to him by a client of his — and while it certainly looked luxurious from the outside, nothing could’ve prepared him for what he would find on the inside.
“I didn’t expect there to be a plane. In fact, I had no idea what I was in for, as I wasn’t told anything before I arrived – so it was crazy to see [it],” Guy shared. “I was completely blown away. My reaction was genuine, I was like what the f–k.”
After showing the standard hotel items — such as the wardrobe, bed, TV and chairs — in his hotel room tour, he panned over to the City of Amsterdam jet that takes up a majority of the room and said, “Oh look, there’s just a plane.”
“It took me a while to get used to it, but after looking around it and seeing that it was like, I was able to appreciate how cool it really was to have a plane in my hotel room,” he said. “I felt like a giant kid with a big toy.”
People in the comments couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“This takes roleplay to a whole new level,” one person said.
“Sir, that’s a Boeing, it was never fully functioning,” another quipped.
“can’t park there mate,” someone added.
“This is my worst nightmare, it gives me the creeps,” one person shared.
Booking.com even chimed in, saying, “No commute to the airport.”
The plane room in the hotel appears to be the only “unique” one available, starting at about $310 for two people for one night.
Guy was impressed with the hotel and said he would “100% stay here again” — just for the plane.
“The room overall was amazing – it was like a penthouse and was numbered 737, like the Boeing aircraft, so that was cool,” he shared.
“It also had some cool gadgets, like in the bathroom, it had a red light that would shine heat on your back while brushing your teeth.”
However, Guy tried to do some research on the plane and couldn’t find any information, leading him to believe it was an old used one.
“Searching around it was class, as it’s not every day you get to sit on a flight deck and fiddle with all the buttons with no repercussions,” he said. “You could access everything and when turning the lights on, the voice of a captain welcomes you.”
“It all felt really authentic – if anyone loves aviation, they’d be in heaven,” he added. “Sleeping next to it was grand, I thought it might be weird, but it didn’t phase me. This was a crazy and great experience.”
