Couple Completely Transform Red Double-Decker Bus Into A Fancy Hotel With Hot Tub
The last time I slept on a bus, it was a particularly un-glamorous. It was an eight hour long coach ride, and I spilled a drink down myself and had to just sit, sticky for the rest of the journey. This bus seems like a much nicer stay.
Hoteliers Susan Mosier and her husband Philip bought the vintage 1960’s London bus for £5,000 and spent over £100,000 turning it into an all inclusive hotel suite.
They had the red exterior sanded down, the rust removed, and then the iconic red paint re-applied before making a start on the interior.
They stripped out all but a few of the chairs, and made the downstairs into an extremely large bathroom with a big bathtub, flat-screen TV and mood lighting.

Guests are greeted with canapes and prosecco, and given fluffy bathrobes. The sheets are fancy Egyptian cotton, an the interior screams fancy.
And hey, just imagine the Instagram pictures you could take there.
