Yotelair takes a bow
Paris Charles de Gaulle has become the latest location for the “new-concept” hotel chain Yotel following the company’s decision to rebrand its airport properties as Yotelair to differentiate them from its city hotels.
Launched in 2007, the company has five hotels – including sites at Heathrow, Gatwick and Amsterdam, with one city-centre location in New York.
Like the brand’s other airport hotels, the Paris Yotelair is bookable by the hour and offers early check-in and baggage drop-off the night before a flight, while reception provides up-to-date information on flight departures. Minimum price is €59 for 4hr. An overnight stay is €99.
The hotel has 80 cabin rooms with a minimalist design hotel director Antoaneta Koleva said is meant to be reminiscent of an aircraft. Rooms range from 9sq m to 19sq m, each with a queen-size “Smartbed” or automatic sofa-bed.
Family cabins include bunk beds for children and a shower room. A futuristic “Technowall” has a TV with 35 international channels.
The hotel is part of the new lounge in Terminal E at CDG and available to passengers with more than 3hr between flights.
