About YOTEL
YOTEL was created by YO! Founder Simon Woodroffe OBE and YOTEL CEO Gerard Greene. The idea was conceived by Simon after he was upgraded into first class on a British Airways flight. He decided to translate the language and the luxury of airline travel and a touch of Japanese influence into a small but luxurious cabin. YOTEL has three airport hotels which are situated inside terminal buildings to give customers the ultimate experience of being minutes from departure and arrivals gates. Airport locations include Gatwick Airport - South Terminal, Heathrow Airport - Terminal 4, and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. In June 2011 YOTEL opened their flagship city centre hotel just two blocks west of Times Square in New York. The hotel features 20,000 square feet of flexible and dynamic entertainment space including the largest hotel terrace in the city. For more information, visit www.yotel.com.
