Boarding soon: You can spend the night in a Boeing airplane at this new JB hotel

While Singaporeans seldom fly to Johor Bahru, they may want to hop on this plane. 

Come mid-2026, they can check into 1975 Avenue & Hotel, a new aviation-themed hotel by Tiong Nam Logistics. 

The 19,500 sq m compound will feature two retired Boeing 747s — named Bove and Bay — positioned above a man-made beach. 

Inside these planes, there are 18 premium suites featuring vintage-looking interiors inspired by countries such as Japan, Mexico, Egypt, Germany, and Italy. 

Apart from the suites, there will be 20 other themed rooms in the main building.

Guests can enjoy resort-style facilities such as cantilever swimming pool, sunken jacuzzi, spa and sauna, VIP dining spaces, among others.

Over at the commercial block, guests can look forward to a range of F&B, retail, and entertainment services. 

1975 Avenue & Hotel is located minutes away from Senai International Airport and near attractions including Legoland Malaysia.

It is accessible via the Eastern Dispersal Link, North-South Highway, Senai-Desaru Highway, Tebrau Highway and Pasir Gudang Highway.

Address: 66, Jalan Kempas Lama, 81300 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia
