Posted by Dorothy Yamich | Filed under Travel
Whenever you book air flights and travel through airports on vacations or holidays, look around. You may just see pod hotels. Here is the low-down on these unique airport and city accommodations.
Pod hotels are not a new concept. These type of hotels have been around for a number of years, but most travelers have never even heard of them. They had their beginnings in Japan as “capsule hotels”, that were, and are still being used mainly by business people on stopovers. Today pod hotels are becoming very popular with vacation travelers as well, because they are convenient and are cheaper than regular hotels. They are located in the U.S., Britain, Europe, and Asia, usually in, or near airports.
The pod hotel concept is in its infancy in the U.S. and Europe, but it is growing by leaps and bounds as more and more holiday travelers demand this unique service. A number of entrepreneurs are building small, pod-like hotel rooms that are usually rented by the hour, or number of hours.
Most pod hotel rooms are small, but comfortable and convenient, and they can have all the amenities of a regular hotel room at a fraction of the cost. They can be a good choice for budget-conscious business travelers and vacationers.
Some pod hotels are situated in airports such as the ones at Yotel.com, located in London, England’s Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.
EasyHotels.com have pod hotels located in Zurich, London, Basal, and Budapest. QBICHotels.com have pod hotels in the cities of Amsterdam and Antwerp. A New York pod hotel is called the PickwickArms.com.
There is a new evolution in pod hotels called Metronap Sleep Pods. These space age style pods are starting to spring up not only on airport concourses, but in prominent locations in office buildings. They are excellent for tourists and business travelers, as well as tired people and executives that just want to have a nap. Even though these sleep pods sit out in the open, they partially enclose for privacy, but will not feel claustrophobic. They also are equipped with noise canceling headphones. The rental is by the hour and is reasonably priced.
