Hotels are destinations themselves, but this is something the conceptual Lexus Solounge has been designed to help change by enabling travelers to bring accommodations with them wherever they go. The hotel is imagined as an autonomous capsule hotel that would work by whisking passengers off to their choice of destination at a rapid pace. Upon arrival, the vehicle could be used for tranquil relaxation or sleeping to support the needs of the guest who needs time away from their busy schedule.
The conceptual Lexus Solounge is the design work of SeungHyun Hwang and features a panoramic roof that's achieved with glass to transform the exterior environment into the backdrop for the guest. The autonomous vehicle design completely changes perceptions of hotel accommodations and could make getaways easier for the busy consumer.
