It’s the Hotelicopter – the world’s first flying hotel. Technically, it’s a modified Soviet heavy lift Mil V-12 machine of which only two prototypes were built. The actual machine that the Hotelicopter company bought and modified was built in 1965.
The second prototype is still displayed on an open lawn in the aviation museum in Monino near Moscow. At least it was when I saw it there around 1985.
The rooms in that thing must be pretty tiny.
