BAKER, Calif.—The first UFO Hotel in America is on its way. The $30 million project in Baker, Calif., which is being spearheaded by Luis Ramallo, will feature 31 rooms on two floors designed within a full-scale alien spacecraft where guests can spend the night in alien-themed rooms and dine in an alien-themed restaurant.
“We are tremendously excited about developing the first authentic UFO Hotel in the world, not just in America,” Ramallo says. “There are tens of millions of sci-fi and UFO fans in the world who have been dreaming of a venue just like this. They will finally have it.”
The UFO Hotel, which is in pre-construction development, will have an alien-themed lobby, spa, nightclub, and other attractions, such as sci-fi fanatics and guests getting married in alien costumes — on their favorite planet.
“When you enter the hotel, you will feel as if you’ve been transported to an actual spaceship,” says Ramallo.
Having already invested major funding into the project, Ramallo is seeking additional fundraising through investors and Kickstarter.
Room rates at the UFO Hotel will begin at around $300 a night. Alien-uniformed employees will use modern touch-screen technology to check guests in. Monitors will show scenes of activity from all around the spaceship.
As guests walk to their rooms, they will be able to twist various dials and hatch handles. If they turn the wrong one, a warning light and siren will flash. There will also be photo-ops throughout the spacecraft with alien crew members re-charging themselves in pods.
The UFO Hotel will create as many as 100 new jobs in the town of approximately 650.
“It’s going to breathe new life into this town,” says Jacob Overson, general manager of the Baker Community Services. “It’s going to put Baker back on the map again. It will be a true tourist destination.”
