Guests will have the opportunity to test out a flight experience for themselves through a new installation at Hotel Polaris at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and managed by CoralTree Hospitality, the hotel will have three different flight simulators.
"Guests can buckle up and take flight in one of three flight simulators that provide guests with a high quality, immersive, fully tactile, real-life pilot experience," says the hotel’s press release.

Two of the simulators will represent the Air Force's F-16 Fighting Falcons, having a full cockpit mock-up with working controls and switches, according to Extreme Flight Simulation, the Illinois-based company that's working with the hotel.
Those test-driving the plane will be provided with a mixed-reality headset allowing a 360-degree view flying in-formation while trying to defeat an enemy target.
"The third simulator is a fully functional cockpit of a Boeing 737Max. When you sit down in the pilot's seat, you'll be seeing what you would see and touch in a real commercial airline 737max today. This immersive experience will allow you to take-off and land at any airport that a real 737max does today," the release said.
Guests will have the real feeling of flying with a 200-degree field of view with a curved seamless screen on the outside. (See the video at the top of this article showing one of the simulators in action.)
"The types of experiences for fighter jets range from just having fun flying through valleys or engaging in on some ground targets or getting caught up in a Dog Fight situation with an enemy aircraft. Having 2 jets, they are networked together, and individuals can be involved in the same missions," according to the hotel.
It is the only flight simulator offered at a hotel in the U.S., according to the press release.
Hotel Polaris is located 30 minutes from the Colorado Springs Airport and an hour from the Denver metropolitan area.
Keeping with the flight theme, the hotel also has "The Aviator Bar," giving visitors rooftop views and specialty cocktails.
