All aboard! China to open luxury hotel on Soviet aircraft carrier

by CNNGo staff

Alternative luxury hotels are popping up on the horizon in China faster than ever.

The country's first ex-naval hotel is set to open on a former Soviet aircraft carrier in Tianjin on May 1.

US$15 million for an aircraft carrier hotel

The luxury hotel is part of Binhai Aircraft (??????????), an 80,000-square-meter military theme park opened in 2004 in east Tianjin. The government-supported park is built on and around a retired Kiev-class Soviet aircraft carrier, named Kiev (???), which was sold to China in 1996.

The park?s parent company is reported to have spent an estimated US$15 million on the transformation and finished the refitting of three presidential suites last August. 

The nightly rate for the 148-room hotel ranges from RMB 988 for a standard double to a staggering RMB 28,888 for the 400-square-meter presidential suites.
