A company called Axiom Space is planning to build the first space hotel. This will be accomplished by starting as an attachment to the International Space Station (ISS) and then becoming the first fully commercial space station when the ISS retires. ISS is expected to retire in approximately 2028. The commercial space station is being built to a more luxurious standard than the ISS to accommodate paying guests. The decor of the AxStation will be designed by a noted interior designer, Phillippe Stacke.
