YOTEL to open at Schiphol
YOTEL has started to build a 55-cabin ‘hotel’ at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
The air-side hotel is scheduled to open early 2008 inside Schiphol’s terminal after passport control on the second floor of lounge 2.
YOTEL CEO Gerard Greene said: “In line with YOTEL’s global expansion strategy, I am delighted to be working in partnership with Schiphol Group and announcing YOTEL’s first airside location.
“Yotel will be offering Schiphol customers affordable space to work, relax, sleep, refresh or be entertained – just for a few hours during transit or an overnight stay in a fantastic location.”
Following a major investment by Kuwait-based IFA Hotels & Resorts and an agreement with BAA, YOTEL opened its first hotel inside the terminal building of London’s Gatwick Airport in July.
At London Heathrow, a 32-cabin YOTEL will open within Terminal 4 in the autumn.
Other international locations are already under negotiation and will be announced shortly.
