Robots are Taking Over Manhattan One Hotel at a Time
Yotel, which is opening this summer, conjures up shades of the Jetsons' with its robotic operated hotel. Guests check in at terminals and baggages will then be transported to your room with the help of a robotic arm.
The rooms, also called "cabins" are of a futuristic style complete with wi-fi, a galley with complimentary breakfast on each floor. There are lounges for cocktails and a Japanese restaurant that will open along with the hotel.
Yotel operates other hotels in London Heathrow Airport and in Amsterdam. The branch in New York is the first in the United States to open and in addition to the "space age" technology, it is offering rooms at an introductory price of $149. I did a practice booking for July 4th weekend, and this rate is applicable. Where in New York City are you going to find a posh room at this price?? If you do, let me know.
