Wanderlust is romantic, dreamy and leaves us wanting to experience more and more of what the world has to offer–but then, the reality sets in. Plane tickets, ground transportation, hotel stays, moving one's luggage from place to place... the list goes on. These hassles can ruin anything, from a quick trip to another city for a business meeting to a vacation planned for some well-deserved R&R.

The Hyperloop Hotel, Business Insider reports, is aimed at revolutionizing hospitality and transit. The hotel-meets-transportation-system is designed to cut the stress and anxiety out of tickets, hotel purchases and scheduling by combining the many disjointed components of travel (flights, hotels, reservations) into one. The winner of this year's Radical Innovation Award, and created by University of Nevada, Las Vegas grad Brendan Siebrecht, the Hyperloop Hotel is comprised of 13 different hotels in the country's top cities, allowing guests to travel seamlessly from place to place from the comfort of their suites. Just think: rather than you moving between hotel rooms nationwide, your room, instead, moves to those places with you.

Imagine: you could have a morning meeting Seattle, spend the afternoon in San Francisco and have dinner in Los Angeles. The following morning, you could head to Las Vegas for a fun weekend on the Strip. If you have a work obligation in Chicago later that following week, no problem—Hyperloop will get you there. Your clothes can stay unpacked, your products in the shower, all while traveling through as many of the country's top cities as you like.

The futuristic proposal for the hotel-meets-transportation-system calls for properties in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Denver, Sante Fe, Austin, Chicago, Nashville, Washington, DC, New York City, and Boston. In Siebrecht's plan, these top cities would all be connected by a "Hyperloop system," a design inspired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk's concept for a mode of transport that propels a pod (of sorts) through a reduced pressure tube. The goal? To make transport faster than air travel possible. Rather than a car, hotel pods with chic luxury furniture, full closets, mini bars and guests in tow would make their way across state lines, giving guests the opportunity to travel quickly within the Hyperloop network of destinations for a flat fee of $1,200.

The size of each hotel, it seems, would depend on the location. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, for example, may end up with more availability for guests than Sante Fe, to accommodate areas that are more dense in population and frequent travelers. While guest suites would be made of "repurposed shipping containers," they would also be "outfitted for luxury," according to Siebrecht. Each suite will hopefully include an en-suite bathroom, a living room with a flatscreen TV, an office, and more.

There are some hold ups, though. Mainly, that the technology it would require to build one Hyperloop, let alone 13, doesn't exist just yet. But, frequent travelers shouldn't lose hope; Siebrecht believes the Hyperloop system will be possible within the next five to ten years, and anticipates it will be a reality by 2020.

Aside from the hours saved packing, heading to the airport and sitting through trips in various planes, trains and automobiles, we may have found the best reason to keep your fingers crossed for the launch of Hyperloop–no more jet lag.
