29.1.2015

London. The British low budget lifestyle brand, Yotel, announced a global expansion in December: There should additionally be more than 3,000 "cabins" by 2018. However, the new planned city centre properties in Singapore, Paris, Miami and San Francisco and in a second hotel in New York City will be transformed from the windowless sleeping boxes that are at the airport hotels into pleasant comfort rooms. Hubert Viriot, Chief Executive Officer of the hotel group since May, 2014, explained how the change of mind and strategy had come about in a conversation with hospitalityInside.com. Viriot will also be a guest on the CEO Panel on March 5 at this year's "ITB Hospitality Day", the hotel conference of ITB Berlin.
