The latest travel trend<\/a> on our radar is out-of-this-world, to say the least.<\/p>

For anyone who's dreamt of actually living and orbiting in space, that dream can soon become a reality.\u00a0In 2022, the world will witness its first ever luxury hotel<\/a> in space.<\/p>

Called Aurora\u00a0Station<\/strong>, this luxury space hotel, developed by space technology startup Orion Span, is slated to launch in 2021 and will welcome its first guests by 2022.<\/p>

So, what kind of amenities does a space hotel have, you might ask?<\/p>

Like any other hotel, it's designed with features to make your extraterrestrial experience a little more seamless. There's WiFi, the opportunity to experience zero gravity, dive in their holodeck\u00a0and even grow food in space.<\/p>

Over 12 days, the hotel will soar 200 miles above the Earth's surface. Each space station will host six people at a time (including two crew members), allowing guests a taste of the astronaut experience.<\/p>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

The views are certainly unworldly as well. The hotel will\u00a0orbit the earth every 90 minutes, allowing guests an unobstructed view of 16 sunrises and sunsets<\/a> every 24 hours and the Aurora Borealis.<\/a> Beyond just a\u00a0 hotel, it's a designated center for space research, with future plans of leasing their stations as condominiums.<\/p>

It looks like it's about to get a little less spacious in space (ha); earlier this year, billionaire Robert Bigelow unveiled plans for an inflatable space hotel to be launched by 2021.<\/p>

Reservations for the hotel are already open and, as you might expect, come at a cost. Staying on the Aurora starts at SGD12.4 million (USD9.5million) per person. Not that it's a deterrence: since news of its launch broke out, reservations for Aurora Station was fully booked in 72 hours.<\/p>

We're not surprised - if we had the deep pockets to fund a space hotel cruisin', there's no question we'd be signing up for it.<\/p>
