Holiday Systems International

 
The concept of a capsule hotel is one that has been popular among Japanese clientele for many years. The first capsule hotel to open was in Osaka, 1979. Read more about Japan, a popular destination among Holiday Systems International clients. The only question was, what's the excitement factor and what are the advantages of staying in a capsule hotel? Yotel co-creator Simon Woodroffe had the idea while riding first class on a British Airways flight in 2003 that he could pack luxury into a tiny space. Woodroffe married his epiphany with Yotel CEO Gerard Greene's vision for an affordable design hotel -- and Yotel was born. But will the same concept be popular in the United States? The concept of a capsule hotel is one that has yet to become popular among American hotel developers. Yotel plans to change this. HSI clients take luxurious vacations to popular destinations that include some of the world's best hotels. Could Yotel be the newest innovation in modern hotels?

"According to New York tourism specialists NYCgo, the average NYC hotel price was a wallet flushing $255 per night in 2010 - compare that to Hotels.com's estimated $165 in Chicago and $185 in London. Add taxes and fees, and a couple staying in one mid-range NY hotel for a three-day weekend are looking at dropping, on average, close to $1,000 on their room alone." Americans are, in fact, looking for bargains. Surveys have shown that, although problems like high gas prices and the loss of jobs are still very much an issue, Americans are still taking vacations, even in struggling economic times. Yotel could be a great alternative to pricey hotels that essentially offer the same amenities.

With a more affordable price, better amenities and luxurious rooms, Yotel is looking to offer what other NYC hotels can't--bargain. Although Yotel is still a concept for the United States, it is sure to be a favorite of Holiday Systems International clients who enjoy staying in luxurious hotels for more affordable prices. Read Holiday Systems International customer testimonials and discover the HSI difference on your next vacation.
