California Start-Up Opens Reservations for Proposed Moon Hotel With Deposits Up to $1 Million

The early-stage venture is taking paid applications for a concept targeting a 2029 demo followed by a four-guest lunar stay in 2032.

Overview

  • The company, GRU Space, has launched a booking site and is accepting applications for stays it markets as the first hotel on the Moon.
  • Applicants face a $1,000 application fee and must choose a refundable deposit of $250,000 or $1,000,000 to secure a chance at a spot.
  • GRU says the final per-visit price is not set but is expected to exceed $10 million.
  • The roadmap outlines a 2029 demonstration to fly a 10‑kilogram payload that tests an inflatable structure and processes lunar regolith into “moon bricks.”
  • For 2032, the firm describes an inflatable habitat built on Earth, delivered by a heavy lander, robotically emplaced, and sized for four guests on multi‑day stays averaging five nights, with a later version for up to ten as part of broader lunar and eventual Mars ambitions.
