Sorry for the drought of postings of late. Things get in the way.
There’s a unique concept hotel opening at Gatwick in July. Modeled on the compact sleeping spaces that I have always associated with Asia, they provide what they term ‘cabins.’ The Yotel provide upscale, high quality space designed around human dimensions. The standard or premium cabins offer 7 square metre spaces that pack in a comfy bed, a washroom and entertainment facilities. The cabins are fitted out in what appears to a light airy style and offer the ultimate in convenience.
I love this concept. Unless you are entertaining in a hotel room, there has always seemed to a lot of wasted space. Efficiency and luxury seem to be a potent combo. Cabins start at 25pounds/4 hours and make lots of sense. It will be interesting to see how successful these become.
Thanks to Peter Rukavina for pointing this one out.
