A hotel chain for the interior design of the futuristic space station. Hilton designs suites on the Starlab space station.

The American space company Voyager Space has begun a collaboration with the Hilton hotel chain, where Hilton will help design the interior design of the Starlab space station proposed by Voyager.

The idea is for Hilton to design cabins for crew members and a space tourist at Starlab, a space station that could eventually replace the International Space Station when it retires. In a press release, Hilton Chairman and CEO, Chris Nassetta, said of their mission to design space housing:

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Voyager to bring this expertise to Starlab. For decades, discoveries in space have positively impacted life on Earth, and now Hilton will have the opportunity to use this unique environment to improve the guest experience wherever people travel. This landmark collaboration underscores our deep commitment to spreading The light and warmth of hospitality and the provision of a friendly and reliable stay – both on land and in outer space.”
