Just
over twelve months ago, YOTEL opened its first hotel located at London's
Gatwick Airport.
In celebration of this event,
the innovative company is offering guests a special price for their standard cabins of just £49 for an overnight stay throughout the
month of August 2008.
Since its launch
YOTEL Gatwick has sold 18,550 cabins and provided over 180,300 hours of sleep, entertainment and relaxation to thousands of
guests travelling through Gatwick airport. The luxury, premium convertible beds have gone up and down over 3000 times and
YOTEL’s
dedicated ‘cabin keeping’ team have cleaned over 23 acres of mirror and
glass.
YOTEL
offers guests a haven of calm and quiet with luxury bedding,
rejuvenating power showers, relaxing mood lighting, practical work station and free
WiFi. The brand represents excellent value with rates starting from just £25 for 4
hours.
CEO Gerard Greene said, “It’s always nervous times when you start up a business but those fears have been laid to rest over the last year with so many
customers from across the globe catching some sleep before they fly off on a horrible early morning flight, having a shower or chilling and
watching a movie in their own space inside the terminals. We have some big plans to bring
YOTEL to airports and city centres across the globe
with our partners IFA Hotels & Resorts so keep checking back with us.”
YOTEL
was created by YO! Founder Simon Woodroffe and YOTEL CEO Gerard Greene. The idea was conceived by Simon after he was upgraded
into first class on a flight. He decided to translate the language of luxury airline travel and Japanese capsule hotels into a small but
comfortable cabin. Gerard Greene evolved that idea into reality with YOTEL.
YOTEL
opened its first two hotels inside the terminal buildings of London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports in June and December 2007
respectively following a major investment by Kuwait-based IFA Hotels & Resorts. At London Heathrow, a 32-cabin
YOTEL has opened within
Terminal 4, while at London Gatwick, a 46-cabin YOTEL has opened within the South Terminal building, following an agreement with the British
Airport Authorities (BAA). YOTEL Schiphol, Amsterdam opens later this year.
