# Helicopter Hotel Rooms Helicopter Glamping Lets Couples Stay in a Converted SeaKing Helicopter By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-07-14 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helicopter-glamping References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/article/helicopter-hotel-room/) & [helicopterglamping](http://www.helicopterglamping.com/) Helicopter Glamping is a unique experience that allows guest to spend a night in a converted [Royal Navy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-hotel) helicopter. Located in Stirling, Scotland, the exterior of this decommissioned helicopter received minimal updates but the inside has been transformed into cozy accommodations. The Helicopter Hotel can accommodate a family of five with a double bed, triple bed and a twin-sized bed located in the tail. The walls have been painted a bright white color, while the lighting maintains its original design. Additionally, the cockpit has been converted into a comfortable sitting room with panoramic views of the Scottish countryside. Guests have access to the room's stainless steel kitchenette for a self-sufficient stay. The room's curved walls have also been insulated to keep the vessel warm in the winter, but cool in the summer so Helicopter Glamping is available year-round. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Helicopter Glamping:** Creating unique and immersive glamping experiences in unconventional structures like decommissioned helicopters. - **Converted Accommodations:** Transforming unused or unconventional spaces into functional and comfortable accommodations for guests. - **Self-sufficient Stays:** Providing guests with the option to have a self-sufficient stay with access to amenities like kitchenettes in unconventional accommodations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can explore new and creative ways to attract guests by offering unique glamping experiences in unconventional accommodations. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can tap into the growing glamping trend by incorporating converted accommodations like helicopters as a unique travel experience. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry has a disruptive innovation opportunity to create functional and stylish living spaces within unconventional structures like decommissioned helicopters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glamorous Camping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lulu-glamping.md) - [Luxurious Indoor Camping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-camping-experience.md) - [Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-shangri-la.md) - [Antarctica Glamping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo-camping-pods.md) - [Sky-Based Hotel Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuclearpowered-sky-hotel.md) - [Riviera-Inspired Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-air-balloon-dining.md) - [Angular Multi-Level Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokken-softshell-tent.md) - [Filmic Swamp Accommodations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stay-at-shreks-swamp.md) - [Glamping-Geared Campervan Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campervan-rental.md)
