Micro hotels are becoming extremely popular in the
hospitality world. There are numerous hotels popping up that offer just the
basic overnight accommodations, including a small space to sleep and shower,
and most times only one option for food & beverage. There are no signs of
wasted space with only necessary furniture in these rooms, with some micro
hotels offering guests nothing except a tiny bed and a vending machine. The
trend began in Japan as a capsule hotel, and it slowly picked up all over the
world. Now you can find variations of micro hotels almost anywhere.
The most recent version of the micro
hotel is Marriott’s new millennial-focused brand, Moxy Hotels. While not a true
micro hotel, Moxy Hotels are on the smaller and more affordable scale, with
on-trend interiors and “instagram-worthy” themes.
They just opened their newest hotel
in Times Square, making it the 3rd in the U.S. and the 14th
around the world that is open for reservations. There are 5 more locations in
the metropolitan areas around the U.S. that are projected to open, including
one in San Francisco and one in Seattle.
As part of the micro hotel trend,
these boutique hotels have everything you’re looking for, and nothing you’re
not.
