Luxury Holidays Go Lunar as US Startup Pushes Plan for Moon Hotel
A US startup is trying to turn space travel into the ultimate luxury flex, with plans for a high end hotel stay on the Moon.
The company, Galactic Resource Utilization Space (GRU Space), says it is already taking early reservations for a future trip that would allow wealthy tourists spend several nights on the lunar surface.
The price tag is expected to run into millions, placing the experience far out of reach for regular travellers.
GRU Space claims the Moon stay would offer breathtaking views of Earth, low gravity fun, and a rare chance to live beyond the planet, even if only for a short time.
What has surprised many people is the backing behind the project.
GRU Space is linked to Nvidia’s Inception Program and has reportedly attracted investors connected to SpaceX, giving the proposal more attention than most space tourism ideas.
The announcement also comes as NASA prepares for Artemis II, its first crewed mission to the Moon’s vicinity since 1972, a major moment that could boost private companies racing to profit from lunar travel.
For now, GRU Space’s Moon hotel remains an ambitious plan, but it shows how fast the space tourism race is heating up.
