In addition to designing hospitality suites and sleeping arrangements, Hilton will also work with Voyager to examine opportunities for the marketing of the space station and astronaut experiences onboard.

Voyager Chairman and CEO Dylan Taylor, speaking with CNBC at the 2022 International Astronautical Congress, said he's excited by the "unique perspective" that Hilton brings to the project because "they're not space people."

"It's almost like looking at it with a fresh set of eyes and saying: 'How do we reimagine this experience,'" Taylor said, adding that he sees it as "a bit of an edge." The partnership marks the first of its kind among the private stations in development, although both the space and hospitality sectors have long envisioned the possibilities of a hotel in orbit.

"For decades, discoveries in space have been positively impacting life on Earth, and now Hilton will have an opportunity to use this unique environment to improve the guest experience wherever people travel," Hilton CEO Christopher Nassetta said in a statement.

Denver-based Voyager Space announced Jan. 4 a partnership with Airbus on its Starlab commercial space station project. Airbus will provide "technical design support and expertise" for Starlab, the companies said, but did not disclose additional details about the partnership or financial terms.

"Working with Airbus we will expand Starlab's ecosystem to serve the European Space Agency (ESA) and its member state space agencies to continue their microgravity research in LEO," Dylan Taylor, chairman and chief executive of Voyager Space, said in the announcement.

"This collaboration is an important step in making Starlab a reality, providing a foundation for long-lasting European and American leadership in space," said Jean-Marc Nasr, executive vice president of space systems at Airbus Defence and Space, in the same statement.
