In-Airport Capsule Hotels

BenBo Offers Comfortable, Private Spaces for Sleeping in an Airport

— May 27, 2017 — World
Most travelers consider themselves lucky if they come across an empty row of chairs for sleeping in an airport. Sometimes, airports offer specialized pods for sleeping, but most of the time, travelers who are concerned about getting a decently comfortable sleep must seek out the nearest airport hotel.

BenBo (which stands for Bed and Boarding) is offering a new kind of sleeping accommodation for budget-conscious travelers that takes inspiration from the popularity of Japanese capsule hotels. Those passing through the international airport in Naples, Italy, now have the chance to book a stay at a pop-up hotel right on the premises.

Use of the space costs just $9 for the first hour and only $28 for a full nine-hour stay. With a booking, guests have access to a bed, a mirror, storage cabinets, a small office station and free Wi-Fi.
Trend Themes
1. In-airport Capsule Hotels - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Offering affordable and convenient sleeping accommodations for budget-conscious travelers in airports.
2. Pop-up Hotels - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Creating temporary hotels within airports to provide convenient and comfortable stays for travelers during layovers or delays.
3. Budget Travel Accommodations - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Developing low-cost options for travelers looking for short-term stays in airports without compromising comfort or amenities.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Integrating capsule hotels into existing hotel chains to provide additional affordable and convenient options for travelers.
2. Travel and Tourism - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Collaborating with airports to create in-airport capsule hotels as a unique selling point to attract more travelers and enhance the travel experience.
3. Urban Design - Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Designing innovative and customizable sleeping pod solutions that can be easily installed and utilized in airports to provide comfortable resting spaces for travelers.
