The choice is as innovative as the property ”“ Queen Pods, Double Pods, Bunk Pods, Single Pods but that’s not all. You can also choose from a Double Double Pod which sleeps up to four people, and the more spacious Odd Pod Townhouse Studio for longer stays.
All Pods contain atmosphere controls to suit your mood, so very New York. You can adjust the lighting with dimmer controls, play music on an mp3 docking station or stream wirelessly to the media centre. Free WiFi is included in each room and a sleek flat screen LCD television to chill out in front of.
The hotel lobby has a mix of sixties retro and Swedish Ikea-style in design with fresh flowers placed atop tiny side tables. There’s a rooftop garden to chill out on, take in the New York skyline and make new friends.
The Pod 51 promises to be replicated by other properties that are recognizing that with solo travellers and those on a budget, comfort, price and social connections are a priority to a large chunk of a growing market.
