Mobile Hotel Rooms - Introducing The Travelodge TravelPod

Want a hotel you can bring with you?  Travelodge UK has launched the TravelPod, the world’s first mobile hotel room.  Take it to a major event or an exotic location. Very Cool.

From Giz Magazine:
If camping is not your go, but from time to time there’s an outdoor music festival or some other gotta-be-there outdoor event, take heart – help is on the way. British budget hotel brand Travelodge is exploring the concept of mobile hotel rooms. Each “Travelpod” is sealed in a 6 metres (Length) by 2.4 metres (Width) x 2.6 metres (Height) clear poly-carbonate glass box but inside has features that you will find in any Travelodge hotel across the country. The room comes complete with a luxury double bed, bedside tables, lights, duvet, pillows, fully carpeted floor, dressing table with light, mirror, chair and even its own WC. The concept is being evaluated in a series of soft trials and trials will be opened to customers next summer, targeting festivals and other major outdoor events. It is envisioned that the mobile room will be transported on the back of a lorry to each location and positioned by crane as required. The trial price will match the company’s leading room rate of £26 per night which makes it an entirely new class of accommodation – wonder if they’ll offer a luxury suite?
