Early 2008 will see a third Pod Hotel, CitizenM Hotels, open at the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The other two are the Qbic and the Yotel.
The 230 room (pod?) hotel is presently under construction, but the website unveils details including the community-building module. This an industry example of how to announce your concept and/or hotel opening.
The Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Hotel will be the first of many CitizenM hotels, if they succeed to roll out the concept as shown on this map of their plans:
The founders and executives of CitizenM are innovative visionaries, who have taken their well-rounded experience into creating CitizenM hotels. They include Rattan Chadha (founder and former CEO of Mexx, director and partner of Oberoi Hotels & Resorts), Jan Wulf van Alkemade (hotel specialist), Tom Bas (former member of the board of directors of NH Hotels and Golden Tulip) and Michael Levie (former Executive and VP of Operations of various international hotel chains including Sonesta and NH Hotels).
These are names to reckon with.
CitizenM has partnered with internationally renowned architects Concrete, and European design giants Philips and Vitra to offer "affordable luxury for the people." Rooms are friendly and functional and feature: a super king-size bed fitted with luxurious linen and pillows, a wall-to-wall window for plenty of natural light, a flat LCD television, Philips technology and ambient lighting, a rain shower and other luxurious amenities especially developed by a famous 'nose' (also responsible for creations of Commes des Garcons and Viktor and Rolf).
Inspired by accommodations on luxury yachts and private jets, CitizenM built its own factory in order to realize its high quality hotel rooms. In its vision, no detail was left ignored: each room is 14 square meters - each of which has been carefully thought through to offer the height of functional design.
