BACK IN DECEMBER, I TOOK MY
DAUGHTERS TO NEW YORK CITY AND
ALWAYS TRY TO FIND REALLY UNIQUE
PLACES TO STAY BECAUSE I HAVE
THIS WEIRD HOTEL OBSESSION.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT COMES
FROM.
I LOVE HOTELS.
I HAD TO SHOW OFF A PLACE WE
STAYED.
IT'S CALLED YOTEL AND I HAD THE
NICEST CHAT WITH THE MARKETING
DIRECTOR WHO WAS KIND TO TELL ME
ABOUT THE UNIQUE HOTEL BRAND.
TAKE A LOOK.
I AM AMY PALMER.
HOW CAN YOU SIT EVERYTHING THAT
YOU NEED INTO A COMPACT SPACE
WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE
EXPERIENCE AND THOSE LITTLE
INTERESTING ELEMENTS OF LUXURY?
WE TRY TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE
MORE SEAMLESS BY INTEGRATING
CHECK IN AND YOUR STAY SO YOU
WITH SPEND LESS TIME SITTING IN
A ROOM AND MORE TIME EXPLORING
CAN PUT DOWN FLAT.
CERTA DESIGNED THE MATTRESSES
JUST FOR US.
WE HAVE A TECHNO WALL.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE LIGHTING IN
YOUR ROOM.
WE LOVE THE MONSOON RAIN SHOWERS
AND HEATED TOWEL RACKS.
WE HAVE THE GREEN FIG THAT
SERVES BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND
DINNER AND ONE OF LARGEST ROOF
TOP TERRACES IN NEW YORK CITY.
IT'S A COLORFUL FUN SPACE AND WE
ALSO DO FUN PROGRAMMING
SEASONALLY ON THE ROOF TOP.
IN THE SUMMER WE WILL DO A MOVIE
SERIES WHERE YOU GET HEAD PHONES
AND POP CORN AND CAN WATCH A
PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY CALLED
YOBOT.
YOU PUT YOUR LUGGAGE IN.
IT LITERALLY STORES YOUR LUGGAGE
FOR YOU.
IF YOU FLY IN AND NOT CHECKING
IN UNTIL 3:00, YOU CAN STORE
WITH YOBOT.
A FUN FACT, IT STORES ABOUT
30,000 PIECES OF FURNITURE A
YEAR.
SO, IF YOU'RE IN NEW YORK,
EVEN THE OZARKS.
HOW COOL IS THAT HOTEL?
WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
IN HELL'S KITCHEN AROUND 10TH
AVENUE.
IT'S LIKE JUST A BLOCK OR TWO.
I JUST LOVE IT.
ANOTHER YOTEL VENTURE IS YOTEL
AIR.
THIS IS WHAT ONE LOOKS LIKE.
THIS IS IN AMSTERDAM DESIGNED
FOR A SHORT STAY BY THE HOUR
BETWEEN ONE AND 24 HOURS OR
HOWEVER LONG YOU NEED IT TO BE.
IF YOU HAVE A LONG LAY OVER OR
ARRIVE LATE AT NIGHT, YOU WANT
REST BEFORE YOU HIT THE CITY,
YOU HAVE A YOTEL.
YOU CAN USE THE GYM.
SO THE CHECK IN AND THE CHECK
OUT TIME IS COMPLETELY UP TO
YOU.
HOW GREAT IS THAT
IT'S OPEN TO ANYONE.
I KNOW SOME OF THEM, IF
YOU'RE TRAVELLING LIKE BUSINESS
OR FIRST CLASS, THEY HAVE THE
PLACES YOU CAN GO FOR AN HOUR OR
WHATEVER.
BUT THIS IS ANYBODY.
THAT'S A TERRIFIC IDEA.
IT IS A TERRIFIC IDEA.
THEN YOU CAN FIND YOTEL AIR IN
AMST
AMSTERDAM, GATWICK, SINGAPORE.
IT'S SUCH AN INNOVATIVE BRAND.
YOU GO IN, HAVE THE LOBBY AND
IT'S ALL AUTOMATED AND GO UP
FOUR FLOORS AND HAVE ALL THESE
PEOPLE TO GREET YOU AND HELP YOU
OUT.
IT'S VERY SOCIAL.
AND THE VIEWS ARE SPECTACULAR.
THE PATIO.
YEAH, THEY LOOK GREAT.
GORGEOUS.
THE THING I REALLY LIKE IS
THE ROBOT,
THE YOBOT.
IF YOU COME IN TOWN AT
10 O'CLOCK AND CAN'T CHECK IN
UNTIL 3:00, IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
SOME PEOPLE COME OFF THE STREET
AND JUST STAND THERE.
PEOPLE PUT THEIR SUITCASES IN IT
AND STICK IT IN THERE.
WHEN YOU COME BACK, YOU CAN GET
IT.
IF YOU'RE TRAVELLING AND WANT
SOMETHING REALLY FUN, YOU WANT A
YOTEL EVEN HAS A MUSIC ARCHITECT
WHO COMES WITH THE SOULFUL, FUN
AND FUNKY PLAY LIST.
YOU HAVE SEEN ME WITH MY EAR
BUDS.
YOU CAN GO TO MIX CLOUD AND GO
TO YOTEL PLAY LIST.
YOU CAN HAVE HOTEL OR ELEVATOR
EVEN MINDFUL.
DO YOU THEY MAKE YOPLAY
YOGURT.
