Lufthansa Technik unveiled a cabin design for Boeing's newest business jet.
The interior includes luxe finishings like a private bedroom, a rainfall shower, and first class suites.

Ahead of last month's Dubai Airshow, Lufthansa Technik AG unveiled a new luxury design for Boeing's upcoming BBJ 777-9 business jet.

Boeing Business Jets is the company's private aviation arm and produces a line of private planes based on its commercial airliners, including the BBJ 737 MAX, the BBJ 787, and the upcoming BBJ 777X.

Named the CelestialSTAR and primarily targeting Middle Eastern royal families, the long-awaited 777X design looks like a palace with a modern flair.

It will cover more than 3,600 square feet of living space and is "specifically tailored to the requirements of a new generation of VVIP and head-of-state aircraft."

The ultra-wealthy can start enjoying the cabin come 2025 once the 777X enters service, which comes after years of production delays.

Take a look a the design.

The BBJ 777-9 is part of the 777X family, which has been in production since 2013.

The more than $400 million jetliner is expected to take its inaugural flight with Emirates in 2025.

Despite the delays, the 777X has secured hundreds of orders, including its first for the BBJ 777X in May 2023.

Lufthansa Technik explained its flagship feature of the design is the Private Suite.

Specifically, this "cocoon" can "merge into a self-contained retreat" thanks to the sliding doors.

The 777X's circle-shaped suite can also be transformed into an entertainment center.

Meanwhile, the "Work&Balance" area next to the suite uses the jet's massive cabin width and is intended to be multifunctional.

Separating the flagship suite and work space from the rest of the jet is the Celestial Lounge.

Beyond the Celestial Lounge is the "Conference&Dining" room.

The included table means guests can use the space for dining or conferences, and the chairs can swivel as needed.

Because the luxe cabin targets Middle Eastern royal families, a few passenger cabins have been created to host a large entourage.

I spent $9,000 for a night on an iconic luxury train. It was so luxurious, I felt like I was staying at a 5-star hotel.
