Buckle up for the ultimate weekend getaway that’s about to take your staycation game to new heights. If you’ve ever wanted a first-class escape without dealing with airport queues…you’re in luck. Picture this: trading the hectic city buzz of Singapore for some serious relaxation at a man-made beach playground, where two real Boeing 747 planes are grounded in sky-high fashion at Johor Bahru’s new 1975 Avenue & Hotel. Wonderfully, it’s just a quick drive across the border. Read on to find out why it’s an unmissable staycation in Johor Bahru.
This aviation-themed escape is located in Kempas, just a breezy 20 minutes from the border, and promises epic time travel vibes with retro 70s cockpit suites, massive lagoon pools hidden among resort gardens, and plenty of on-site fun. In fact, it officially holds the title of Johor’s first-ever airplane hotel.
Why is JB’s first airplane hotel a must-do?
Developed by the Tiong Nam Group, this 38-room luxury boutique hotel brilliantly reimagines retired aircraft into elegant cabins. Interestingly, there are 18 exclusive suites housed entirely within the two Boeing 747s. Complete with grandiose and vintage 70s interiors…you can live out your first-class fantasy and even sleep in the coverted cockpit.
Otherwise, there are 20 hotel rooms uniquely themed after different countries, which means you can visit Japan or Monaco without ever leaving JB.
Wonderfully, the resort weaves retail, dining, and entertainment into a massive vibrant lifestyle hub designed for leisure seekers, families, and couples. In fact, it spans more than 19,000 square metres within an integrated township.
Step outside your aircraft cabin and you’ll immediately find yourself at a stunning outdoor lake-style pool and a man-made beach that weaves right through the venue.
Meanwhile, guests can indulge on Japanese-style breakfasts and themed F&B concepts, alongside enjoying blissful pool days, a soothing spa and sauna, a fully equipped gym, and plenty of family-friendly activities.
Certainly, 1975 Avenue & Hotel is a seamless pit stop for couples craving romance or families chasing an unforgettable weekend across the border. The opening date is yet be revealed but it says ”COMING SOON” on their social media platforms.
