New YorkYotel, an experiential lodging destination in the heart of Manhattan.

Ever met a robotic concierge? You will at Yotel, an experiential lodging destination in the heart of Manhattan. Created by Simon Woodroffe and Gerard Greene, Yotel offers a first-class experience at an affordable price. In addition to beautifully and thoughtfully designed minimalist rooms, amenities include automated check-in and -out, free Wi-Fi (hard to find that at upscale hotels these days), monsoon showers with all-over body wash (for when you need to seriously scrub off a Saturday night), flat-screen TVs, and work stations with multiple power points. Just two blocks west of Times Square, Yotel has four main cabin types – ranging from premium cabins with queen-size double beds to VIP 2 suites that boast the ultimate in luxury – all of which include floor-to-ceiling windows (so you can spy on the City That Never Sleeps). And what about that robot, er, YOBOT? He (we think it’s a he, anyway) will store your bags in a locker just inside the lobby for safe keeping while you take one last bite of the Big Apple before your flight.
