YOTEL coming to London

YOTEL is not your common hotel. It boldly goes where other hotels simply can’t - tricky central city locations, airports, even underground. Reduced property costs and savings can then be passed on to consumers, resulting in a NO-FRILLS CHIC experience at NO-FRILLS CHIC prices: about GBP 70 (USD 135 / EUR 105) per night.

Each soundproof cabin will contain a sofa that converts into a double bed, a pull down desk, closet space, adjustable mood lighting, a shower, wireless Internet, an iPod connection and a flat-screen TV.

Simon Woodroffe, chairman and founder of YO! Everything, including the popular franchise sushi conveyor restaurant chain YO! Sushi, has hit upon the idea of upscale airport hotel rooms. The 10 square-meter cabins resemble Japanese capsule hotels, and offer a plenitude of amenities for the passing-through business traveler.
