Yotel High-Tech "Cabins" Open at London Gatwick |
 Picture it. You're stuck in London's Gatwick Airport. Your flight has been canceled, and you have eight hours to kill. Wouldn't it be nice to sneak off to a comfortable room with free wi-fi, a shower, a comfy bed and room service instead of whiling away the hours in the terminal? As of yesterday, travelers can do just that with Yotel's 46 rooms. Located inside Gatwick's South Terminal, the new mini-hotel concept offers pint-sized rooms (a sofa becomes a double bed, work tables fold down) with high-tech amenities like free wireless Internet access, flat screen TVs, 80 radio channels, a digital jukebox with 5,000 songs and multiple charging points for various electronic devices. Plus, check out the space-age interiors. V. cool. Rooms can be booked in advance or on the spot for a minimum of four hours. Because of their small size, standard rooms are best for one traveler, though two can squeeze in, while premium cabins offer enough space for two. Standard room rates start at 25 GBP for four hours or 50 GBP for overnight stays. Premium room rates start at 40 GBP for four hours and increase to 80 GBP for overnight stays. Yotel will be coming to London Heathrow Airport later this year. British entrepreneur Simon Woodroffe launches 46-cabin Yotel inside Gatwick Airport |
