In a groundbreaking move for space hotel tourism, the Voyager Station space hotel is set to welcome visitors in 2027. Developed by Above Space, the orbital resort will offer restaurants, gyms, private villas, and even a concert hall.

The space hotel will orbit Earth while rotating to simulate gravity. The design draws inspiration from the wheel-shaped concept proposed by Wernher von Braun. This rotation will provide Moon-like gravity, allowing guests to walk and sleep comfortably.

Voyager Station will host 280 guests and 112 crew members. It will span 125,000 square feet across 24 interconnected modules. These modules will include luxury rooms, retail spaces, and recreation areas.

The journey begins at a central zero-gravity hub. From there, elevators will carry guests to rotating outer rings. This setup blends weightless thrills with gravity-based convenience.

The station’s amenities include fine-dining restaurants, a cinema, a gym, and shopping areas. Moreover, it offers residential-style villas for long-term stays. Guests can enjoy Earth views while working out or attending concerts in orbit.

Importantly, Voyager Station aims to make space hotel tourism more affordable. Currently, private space travel costs millions. One tourist paid $28 million for a suborbital flight. However, developers hope future pricing will make space vacations more mainstream.

Advanced launch systems like SpaceX’s Starship may lower transportation costs. Though not yet partnered, aerospace firms could assist in future missions.

The company is testing its smaller prototypes—Pioneer Station and Gravity Ring. These early models will validate the technology needed for Voyager Station’s operation.

“There’s nothing stopping us except time and investment,” said COO Tim Alatorre. The company is confident about achieving its goal by 2027.

Voyager Station may revolutionize how people experience space. It promises a luxury resort feel—with spacewalk thrills and comfortable living. Visitors will float, dine, shop, and rest—all while orbiting Earth.

With each development, space hotel tourism comes closer to reality. The countdown to luxury in orbit has officially begun.
