From seeing a retweet on twitter we came across Nine Hours (9h), and what made us end up following them was their biography which reads…..‘This is nine hours in Kyoto. We would like to propose a new category of hotel industry called Sleeping hub to the world!‘ This being an extremely innovative concept called “Capsule Hotels”.
‘Capsule hotels are unique accommodations developed in Japan. It usually costs about $25 to $40 per night. Since it’s cheap, mainly business men who couldn’t go home stay at capsule hotels. Also, capsule hotels are popular among foreign travelers.
Although these hotels have been aroound for a while now there is no denying that 9h is a concept of its own kind, from its website, branding and theory behind its name, it is a total and unique transformation to the everyday new hotels currently coming up.
In capsule hotels, each guest stays in a small sleeping space (capsule) which is about 3 feet by 4 feet by 6 feet. In a capsule, there are a TV, an alarm clock, a light, and so on. The open side of a capsule is shut by a curtain or a screen, and it is unlocked. To sleep well in capsule hotels, earplugs might be helpful.’
