Drawn from the influences of Japan, airline travel and luxury yachts, YOTEL
has launched the start of their international expansion plan by opening their
first international hotel, and third hotel in the world, at Schiphol
Airport in Amsertdam.
YOTEL is a joint creation by YO! Founder Simon Woodroffe and YOTEL CEO
Gerard Greene. Inspired by an airline upgrade into first class, Simon saw the
potential to fuse the language of luxury airline travel with Japanese capsule
hotels to create a small but luxurious cabin.
The 57 cabin YOTEL is located inside Schiphol’s terminal.
Bookable from a four hour minimum stay with either standard, premium or family cabin
options, YOTEL Schiphol’s cabins feature free WiFi and wired internet access and
flat screen TV’s. Each cabin comes with a hand-made bed for a
refreshing sleep and an en-suite bathroom complete with a monsoon rain shower,
bespoke body wash and towels. The finishing touch is the relaxing purple
mood lighting. Prices start from as little as €35.
YOTEL has the on-going investment support of Kuwait-based IFA Hotels &
Resorts (IFA HR) as they move forward with their expansion plans. Talal Jassim
Al-Bahar, Chairman and Managing Director of IFA HR said, “We are very
excited about the opening of the first international YOTEL. YOTEL is different
from other investments we have in the hotel sector and we truly believe it
represents the future. It is a brand that is going to grow exponentially in the
next few years.”
YOTEL CEO Gerard Greene describes
YOTEL as “the iPod of the hotel industry. YOTEL delivers luxury at a great price
and is accessible to all. With the support of our partners IFA HR, we are intent
on taking this around the world, not only to airports but to city centres where
space is at a premium.”
