Luxury Yotel Hotel Coming To New York This June

The first Yotel Hotel this side of the Atlantic is heading to New York this June and you don’t want to miss a chance to peek at this luxury hotel.

Yotel specializes in smaller luxury rooms, or cabins as Yotel calls them, for traveling executives who tire of all the wasted square footage of suites.  The new Hotel will be located in the new 60-story LEED-certified glass tower Middle of Manhattan, which is just a few blocks from Times Square.

Each of Yotel’s nearly 700 rooms will offer visitors all the comfort of a luxury hotel in New York at a much smaller scale – rooms, or “cabins” as they are called, only occupy about ten by seventeen feet of space. It’s enough for a sumptuous bed, a super-compact bathroom, and an ultraluxe “techno wall” featuring a state-of-the-art flat screen television and music station. Check-in will be fully automated, airport style, and luggage will be handled and stored by the luxury hotel’s friendly Yo-bots. Meanwhile, downstairs Yotel plans to go big with a super-hip Japanese inspired restaurant called Dohyo and a swank lounge worthy of the city.

Sounds like just what the busy executive traveler needs, and we can’t wait for our already-booked NYC trip to try this new Yotel out.
