Yotel is Headed to Abu Dhabi
November 17, 2008 at 1:26 PM | 2 Comments
In the continuing saga of Abu Dhabi’s attempts to remind the world that Dubai’s not the only city in the UAE, there’s been a big announcement: Abu Dhabi is going to get two Yotels.
At least two Yotels, in fact, according to a recently-signed agreement. There’ll be a Yotel at the Airport and a Yotel at the Abu Dhabi City Centre, with the potential for more in the (further) future.
No word yet on when the Abu Dhabi Yotels should get up and running, but the locals are saying they’ll be “just perfect” for Abu Dhabi’s booming conference and business travel market, and for transit stays at the airport. While we don’t personally know anyone who’s ever needed to transit in Abu Dhabi, we can only guess that Yotel’s done their homework … but let’s put it on record that we think it’s a slightly strange expansion step for them.

Yotel Schiphol is Coming This September

Yotel is going to be opening up at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport soon but probably not soon enough according to the hip capsule hotel chain.
From the latest Yotel newsletter called YoteleGraph:
Yotel at Schiphol...Is nearly there we promise -- the latest news is that we expect to open in September, things have been slightly against us I'm afraid -- too rough across the channel, too windy for the cranes, too much like hard work for the builders -- the list is endless. But judging by the amount of enquiries we've had already the new YOTEL is very much good news for travellers through Amsterdam.
Amsterdam's Schiphol airport is going to be THE place to stay pretty soon, thanks to the recent CitizenM opening and now the upcoming Yotel. Well it will be THE place to stay amongst budget travelers who want hip design and modern technology and who don't mind spending the night in a (well-designed) shoebox.
