capsule hotels – готелі-капсули rushed – переобтяжений роботою “nap pod” – відсік для сну to vary – змінюватись towel rack – вішак для рушників galley – кухня, камбуз

to draw in guests – залучати гостей vibe − атмосфера to garner – отримувати, збирати to opt – вибирати impact – вплив hot tubs – гарячі ванни

1. The concepts of capsule hotels are nothing new in Asia. Japan conceived the concept years ago with “pods” at airports, and the trend caught on fast thanks to rushed travelers needing a quick place to sleep for a few hours before heading on to their next flight.

2. The capsule concept got a little bigger when it entered Europe, setting up shop in London’s airports and reinventing itself into larger “nap pods”, set up in between gates in Munich’s airport. But can the smaller room, higher technology hotel room work in New York?

3. Hotels in New York vary in just about everything: size, function, price, location, design, food and beverage, and even guests. While most international travelers know New York for its luxury hotels, one new hotel in Hell’s Kitchen has captured the eyes of international travelers and local New Yorkers, thanks in most part to its simple form and function.

4. The Yotel just opened last year and is already drawing in guests who want nothing more than a clean room and a cool vibe at a reasonable price. The New York hotel has garnered rave reviews on sites like TripAdvisor and Hotels.com, and is a fan favorite for business travelers with short connections through London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

5. With only 12 hours to spare in New York City, I opted to check out the Yotel and see what all the fuss is about. Slightly larger than the typical “pod” hotel room, the Yotel takes its cue from Japanese-designed capsule hotels and adds just a little more space, and a lot of functionality.

6. The hotel takes almost an entire city block, but its compact rooms have the greatest impact − a small space workable for travelers thanks to technology in every corner. There are a few various room types and all the rooms include the basics you’d need for a night: bathroom amenities, hairdryer, lighted mirrors, flat-screen TV with airport flight times for JFK, LGA and Newark, endless outlets for plugging in, and a heated towel rack (which I considered the “luxury” of the room). The suites are a little more luxurious − and certainly larger − some with rotating circular beds, pool tables, fireplaces, hot tubs and wrap-around terraces. There aren’t coffee makers or mini bars in the rooms, but on each floor there is a “galley” area that has water, coffee, tea, and a vending machine.
