The Gateway Foundation in Californian revealed a plan to build the first space hotel (Von Braun Station). It is a cruise ship-style hotel floating among the stars.
Von Braun Station will likely be the first commercial space construction project in history.
The company is scheduled to launch the hotel by 2025 to operate it in 2027 for travelers.
Von Braun Station is designed to produce varying artificial gravity levels by increasing or decreasing the rate of rotation.
The company designed the project to accommodate both national space agencies conducting low gravity research.
It will also host the space tourists who want to experience life on a large space station with the comfort of low gravity and the feel of a nice hotel.
It opens a new option for tourism as the first space hotel in the world.
The structure of first space hotel
The structure of the Von Braun space station will consist of two concentrated structural rings fixed together with a set of spokes supporting a large module Habitation Ring.
An un-pressurized ring structure with docking arms and stabilizers designed to capture and lock in place a visiting spacecraft to unload passengers and cargo. The company will present one docking port, but later it will add another.
The following shows that the station resembles a rotating wheel, comprised of 24 modules, orbiting the Earth.

The space hotel will offer warm suites with carpets and stylish monochrome touches on board.
Also, there will be chic bars that wouldn't look out of place back on Earth, just with star-gazing views.
There will also be plenty of fun recreational activities for guest to enjoy.
The project is not the only design for a hotel in the space. Earlier in 2019, the American space tech startup Orion Span released plans for a luxury space hotel called Aurora Station. Orion Span hopes to launch Aurora Station in 2022, according to CNN.
