DESCRIPTION:
The Travelpod - Was claimed as the World's first mobile hotel room. The pod is sealed in a polycarbonate glass box, but includes features offered in conventional hotel rooms such as Flat-Screen TV and air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. Leigh McCarron, Travelodge’s director of sleep, called it “a ground-breaker in outdoor accommodation”. The Travelpod, which measures 6 metres by 2.4, includes a double bed, bedside lights, carpeted floors, and dressing table - plus blinds. The Travelpod will be available soon at outdoor Events such as music festivals or sporting competitions. TravelPod’s spokesperson says, “With the popularity of outdoor sleeping we saw a definite niche in the market for something a bit more up-market”. When asked who will be hiring this hotel room, she replied “One woman wanted 20 of them for the guests at her garden wedding to sleep in.” “One man wanted one delivered to a beautiful spot in the Lake District, so he could propose to his girlfriend in it”.
