Two Boeing planes transform into a hotel in the heart of JB

1975 Avenue & Hotel plans to redesign two Boeing 747s into unique aviation-themed accommodation and retail space in Kempas, Johor Bahru.

The design and concept of 1975 Avenue & Hotel boast its uniqueness for guests to enjoy “time travel” when they visit. 

The first aviation-themed lifestyle hub will occupy over 19,000 sqm of an integrated township with retail elements.

The development also features a 38-room hotel offering guests access to a stunning artificial beach playground surrounded by a resort-style garden.

Inside the hotel, the all-suite cockpits and cabins feature a ’70s vintage and exquisite interior for a timeless aviation staycation escapade. 

It is also an excellent place for romantic getaways for couples or fun family vacations with the outdoor artificial beach and lagoon pool that weaves through the entire venue.

Leasing opportunities are available, ranging from local casual diners to international gourmet dining.

The restaurants will include contemporary, casual dining, omakase/buffet, family style, pop-up restaurant, poolside cafe and bistro, F&B outlets, cafes and themed dining.

Tiong Nam Group designed this aviation lifestyle hub to attract a new generation of domestic and international business and leisure travellers and families looking for authentic experiences.

“For corporate travellers and event planners, 1975 AVENUE & HOTEL features indoor and outdoor event venues for guests to capture the most memorable moments. 

These event spaces are ideal for business summits, trade shows, expos, product launches, press conferences, red carpet events, and all types of social gatherings,” says Tiong Nam Properties executive director Jimmy Khoo.

“We are excited about the hotel’s opening as it will further add vibrancy to the community in Johor Bahru.

“We are confident that we will be able to operate at a healthy occupancy in the first year of the hotel’s opening, taking into consideration the integration, the connectivity, the market size,” said the 1975 Hotel General Manager, Kenneth Perreau.
