Compact sleeping pods and cabins, built for one person and one night at a time.
Singapore
Singapore's pod scene is small, and this one takes design seriously. The Pod occupies a shophouse-scale building on Beach Road, close to Kampong Glam and the Bugis area.
Most guests sleep in single or double pods with their own light, power and storage. A handful of private rooms suit anyone who wants a door that locks. Shared bathrooms are kept tidy, and the lounge works well for an evening of planning the next day.
Tokyo, Japan
Akihabara never really sleeps. Glansit gives visitors a clean, quiet capsule a few minutes' walk from the station and the electronics streets around it.
Capsules are stacked in the classic Japanese format, with men's and women's areas kept apart. Lockers hold luggage, bathing is shared, and a lounge offers somewhere to sit that isn't your bed. Expect efficiency rather than ceremony.
Roissy, France
Some trips need a bed between two flights, not a city break. YOTELAIR sits within Charles de Gaulle airport itself, so there is no shuttle and no taxi queue.
Cabins are compact and sealed off from terminal noise, each with its own shower and a bed that adjusts. Stays can be booked for a few hours as well as overnight. It is a practical answer to a long layover.
