Here Come The Days Of Capsule Hotels
April 29th, 2008The epoch when hotel room space had no little significance remains behind. Spaciousness of the apartments was one of the reasons that motivated travellers to choose this or that hotel. The space to accrue benefits from became rather scanty, so following the example of capsule rooms that came into fashion in Japan in late 70s, some European companies decided to build hotels with rooms ideally furnished and decorated in modern style but with the uttermost limited space. Thus, the length of the room usually equalled the length of the bed, and the space between the bed and the wardrobe was just the same as the width of the bedside table.
At present time, Mecca of mini hotels decamped from Japan to the capital on the Thames River. For example, Simon Woodroff, the Briton owner of the Yotel Company, created a capsule hotel at the Gatwick airport. What were his intentions? To arrange the space where travellers could rest while waiting for connections or delayed air plane. Cabins with the space of 6 square metres, with shower and lavatory facilities, flat screen TVs, Internet access and hi-tech walls and ceilings that allow projecting films and photos give an idea about characteristics of the new dawn in up-to-date hotel business for which it becomes an absolute priority to have access to innovative technologies.
Incipient Qbic network can be considered another network of hotels with the rooms that have so-called filling completed on the very small territory they have offered their module-rooms in which it is possible to change the colour of the walls depending on your mood and which can miraculously be nested into any existing accommodation. Swedish bed of de luxe class and TV plasma panel are to become a good substitution for many clients pleasure to live in large standard rooms.
Easyhotel, the last creature of EasyGroup Company, follows the same pattern; only it is simpler as to conditions and facilities. The main principle of the company supposes that clients will not mind against smaller space if they are offered the accommodation in the centre of London, Basel or Budapest at moderate prices. By the way, despite the bathing room with lavatory and plasma panel, there is a lack of windows in the majority of rooms. Are you easy to try?
