Resol Poshtel

Japan is at the forefront when it comes to digitalization, robotization, and simplification. And this trend has sneaked into the hotel industry quicker than anywhere else in the world.

It started with opening the first capsule hotel in 1979, which was and still is a groundbreaking concept. Making the best use of space in our ever-growing cities while trying to avoid significantly impacting the quality of stay (with more or less success).

So, Japanese cities have long experimented with the best formula for capsule hotels. Starting with the traditional stacked capsules in one room to futuristic open space versions looking like a scene from Matrix.
