Dubai - Snooze Booth: Sleepbox life saver for travelers
Gebäude | Informationen | Videos | Emirates | Aussicht
A new Russian gimmick called the Sleepbox might be the solution if you want a quick nap on the go. Sleepbox mini-hotels are to help exhausted adventurers at airports and railway stations -- crowded and noisy places that are not so good for a nap. Two young Russian architects decided to change that with a Sleepbox -- a soundproof and air conditioned mobile hotel room for a quick rest. And the demand for them is already booming. "We have requests from all over the world, even from the Fiji Islands. The nearest country installing it is Spain. I hope next year it will be sleeping in the Sleepbox," shares architect Mikhail Krymov.Similar concept capsule hotels were invented in Japan some 30 years ago, but never became popular elsewhere. And this neatly-designed comfort crib will cost you about $10 per hour of deserved rest. Hotel business experts say Sleepboxes could be a gold mine. "For transit passengers or foreign students even it's a great idea. Taking into consideration always unpredictable transport collapses etc. They are much higher standard capsule hotels," considers Aleksandr Lesnik, Hotel Consulting & Development Group The only Sleepbox installed so far already drawing attention of those traveling through Moscow's Sheremetyevo international Airport.

Dubai airport (Snoozecube) it's the best place to sleep

Nonsense! Not at those prices! And you need a hot shower more than sleep. These designs were around fordecades and are so easily copied, any architect can come up with the same idea. Don't you think Marriott, Holiday Inn has experts who have studied this concept? Get real. 10 Euros an hour: that's 100 per night! Fancy woodwork won't do it. The idea is good, but they have to be a real bargain. I've slept in one in 1982 in Amsterdam - 1982!

Would love these at all the major airports in the world... the thought of spending a night at the airport *shudders*
-
Good Design!!!

who cleans it?

What would be really great is if we evolved a society that made allowances for enough sleep time in the first place & utilized less resources in mere existence & aspired to happiness. We could learn a thing or two from other apes if we took the time to observe & relate :)

@ITSbigwillystyle If I get stuck at the airport for any length of time, I aint paying jack shit to sleep in a stinky, smelly, nasty-ass box. God only knows what people do in those places. Those TSA bitches better give me a clean cot and blankets or a decent hotel room for the night, or there will be hell to pay.

@ITSbigwillystyle Very funny my friend.... u WIN! LMAO

In the US the makers would get sued for not making boxes that can hold a 500lb person (227 kg). After all large people have a right to sleep boxes.
