Plans for an incredible hotel in space have been revealed.
Orbital Assembly, a US-based space company, has unveiled artist impressions of its concept hotel.
The structure will include serval modules which are connected by lift shafts that rotate to emulate the orbit of the Earth, the Mirror reports.
Bosses at the firm are seeking to launch two space stations - which will be named the Voyager and Pioneer stations.
The latter of the two could be ready in just three years time and will be able to house up to 28 people.
Voyager Station, which is set to open in 2027, will be made to accommodate up to 400 people at one time.
The company's goal is to run a space "business park" home for offices but will also hold tourists.
Illustrations of the interiors for both stations resemble a luxury hotel complete with a gym, lobby bar and beautiful restaurants.
It comes as space tourism seems to truly be on the horizon. Recently, Virgin founder Richard Branson went into space as well as Star Trek actor William Shatner.
