First Images Of YOTEL | The World's Most Radical Hotel

Not satisfied with turning the UK restaurant industry upside down with YO! Sushi and its healthy, elegant fast food concept, YO! is turning its attention to hotels with the launch of YOTEL at 100% Design this September. With the signature YO! combination of radical change and entertainment, YOTEL is a revolutionary hotel concept destined to deliver the industry a wake-up call.

"Yotel is simply giving travellers what they want; people are bored with drab look-alike chains, cubbyhole-size urban hotel rooms and grimy bed-and-breakfasts. They want unique experiences at hotels and are ready to welcome features that surprise them." New York Times 04

"thank you for making our industry so interesting and enjoyable. Personally, I think you are sitting (or should I say sleeping) on a gold mine with tremendous opportunities." Jonathan Worsley CBRE Richard Ellis and Advisor to the World Travel and Tourism

"Yotel would appeal to the magazine's readers, hip young urbanites. If a hotel is priced perilously low you're usually afraid of what you will find lurking behind the door. Knowing you can get a clean, crisp room with some designer panache is an attractive proposition." Budget Living 04
