Airport style check-in and -out for guests, automated and assisted “The KABA installations at YOTEL Gatwick, Heathrow and Schipol are very successful,” Buchanan explained. “The RFID door locking system is easy for our guests to use; which is the main priority for all aspects of the YOTEL offering, so it was an obvious choice to extend our relationship with KABA at YOTEL New York.” About YOTEL YOTEL was created by YO! Founder Simon Woodroffe and YOTEL CEO Gerard Greene. The idea was conceived by Simon after he was upgraded to first class on a flight. He decided to translate the language of luxury airline travel and Japanese capsule hotels into a small but luxurious cabin. YOTEL launched as a revolutionary hotel concept in the summer of 2007, with its first location inside London’s Gatwick South terminal. In December 2007, the brand opened its second airport location inside London’s Heathrow Airport Terminal 4, followed by its third location in the airside transit area at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam in September of 2008. www.yotel.com.
