A project that until recently seemed like science fiction is becoming a reality. The company Galactic Resource Utilization Space (GRU) has announced plans to create the first hotel on the Moon, exclusively for space tourists with hundreds of thousands of dollars in their accounts.
According to the GRU, those with a million dollars can pre-book a room, with the plan to launch the first model by 2032. The initial hotel will be built on Earth first and then transported to the Moon using a heavy lunar lander. The structure will be inflatable and designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space.
In the first phase, the hotel will accommodate up to four guests for multi-day stays, at a cost of $1 million per person. According to the company's projections, the hotel will have a lifespan of approximately ten years, offering exceptional views of the lunar surface and planet Earth.
The unique spatial experience for visitors includes:
Walking on the surface of the Moon
Driving vehicles on lunar terrain
Golf in low gravity
Other special space activities.
The GRU has also released artistic renderings of an advanced, ultra-luxurious version of the hotel, with rooms equipped with soft walls that allow for “safe jumping” in zero gravity. Long-term plans include using materials extracted from the lunar surface to increase the structure’s protection and capacity, allowing up to ten guests to stay at a time in the future.
The project's larger goal isn't just tourism. Skyler Chan, the founder of GRU, has described the hotel as a step toward a permanent human presence in space, even including plans for a future on Mars. "We're living at a tipping point, where we could become an interplanetary species before we die," he said, outlining his vision of billions of people being born and living off Earth.
The GRU hopes to begin construction in 2029, but the plan remains subject to regulatory approvals. Meanwhile, international developments in the space sector are accelerating. China and Russia have announced plans to jointly establish a permanent lunar base, the size of Disneyland and a power plant, by 2036, marking a new era of human presence on the Moon.
This GRU project clearly shows that space tourism is no longer just a dream, but is becoming a tangible reality for those who can pay for out-of-this-world experiences.
