Pod hotels are not a new phenomenon. They have been around for many years, but most travelers have never heard of them. The concept started in Japan as “capsule hotels”, that were, & are still being used mainly by businessmen on stopovers. However these hotels are becoming more & more popular with vacation travelers as well, because they are convenient & cost a lot less than regular hotels. They can be found in the United States, Britain, Europe, and Asia, usually in, or near airports.This hotel concept is just in its infancy in the U.S. & Europe, but is growing by leaps & bounds as more & more holiday travelers demand this unique service. Entrepreneurs are responding by creating very small, pod-like hotel rooms that are usually rented by the hour, or number of hours.
Most rooms are small, but comfortable & convenient, & 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 & vacationers.Some pod hotels are located at airports such as the ones at Yotel.com, situated in London’s Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.EasyHotels.com have pod hotels in London, Zurich, Basal, & Budapest.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1417760
