Yotel.....

Simon Woodroffe's inspiration for YOTEL came from British Airways first class and Japanese capsule hotels.

We believe it is one of the world's most radical hotel concepts and will offer a solution to expensive and boring hotels around the globe.

Cabins will be bookable in blocks of four hours enabling delayed and transfer passengers to relax privately in a hotel environment. In addition, passengers leaving on those early morning flights can stay the night before to catch some extras hours sleep in the morning and check in online from the comfort of their rooms safe in the knowledge that they are just a casual stroll for their next morning’s departure. Early arriving passengers may also check-in for a few hours before going to a meeting.

Designed by Priestman Goode, who has helped Airbus define the double deck aircraft of the future, the 10.5m² rooms feature

• Premium and Economy cabins
• Techno Wall with desk, universal port (for your i-pod or PDA) and plenty of storage
• Flat screen TV with surround sound speaker system
• Free Internet - Wired and Wi-fi
• Choice of hundreds of downloadable movies and CD's
• Air conditioning
• Double rotating beds
• Ensuite bathrooms
• Aircraft cabin mood lighting
• Luxury bathroom fittings including monsoon rain shower
• Luxury bedding
• Bespoke Toiletries
• Eat In grazing menu
• Automated Check in / out
• Web booking

However, the truly revolutionary element of YOTEL is its windows, which are internal rather than external. This will allow YOTEL to open in tricky central city locations, airports, rail hubs and even underground. Reduced land costs add to YOTEL’s ability to provide affordable prices.
