Pod Hotels Can Save You Money When On Vacations Or Holidays

The next time you book air flights and travel through airports when on vacations or holidays, look around. You might just see a pod hotel. Here's the low-down on these unique airport and city accommodations.

Pod hotels are not a new evolution. These kind of hotels have been in existence for many years, but most travelers have never heard of them. They originated in Japan as "capsule hotels", that were, and are still being used mainly by businessmen and women on stopovers. Nowadays pod hotels are becoming more and more popular with vacation travelers as well, because they are convenient and cost substantially less than regular hotels. They are found in the U.S., Britain, Europe, and Asia, usually in, or near airports.

The pod hotel concept is in its infancy in the U.S. and Europe, but it is growing by leaps and bounds as more and more holiday travelers demand this unique service. A number of entrepreneurs are building small, pod-like hotel rooms that are usually rented by the hour, or number of hours.

Most pod hotel rooms are small, but comfortable and convenient, and 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 and vacationers.

Some pod hotels are situated in airports such as the ones at Yotel.com, located in London, England's Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.

EasyHotels.com have pod hotels in London, Zurich, Basal, and Budapest. QBICHotels.com have pod hotels located in Amsterdam and Antwerp. A New York pod hotel is the PickwickArms.com.

There is a new evolution in pod hotels called Metronap Sleep Pods. These space age style pods are starting to spring up not only on airport concourses, but in prominent locations in office buildings. They are excellent for tourists and business travelers, as well as tired people and executives that just want to have a nap. Even though these sleep pods sit out in the open, they partially enclose for privacy, but will not feel claustrophobic. They also are equipped with noise canceling headphones. The rental is by the hour and is reasonably priced.
