The capsule hotel continues to reinvent itself, always with technology as the protagonist. Recently opened in the popular neighborhood of Shibuya, where the famous cross-shaped zebra crossing, Millennials is the penultimate example.

Their pods , or capsules, have overcome that coffin aesthetic so common in this type of accommodation to become neat shoe boxes that attract hyper-connected young travelers. A type of extreme minimalism that triumphs in cities where the square meter reaches astronomical heights.

The rooms of The Millenials (from 46 euros / night) start and end in bed. The luggage, as long as it is not too big a suitcase, has a hole under the mattress. If the bed reclines, it is precisely to be able to walk out of the room , since the shutter that serves as a door reaches the foot of the bed. Everything is thought.

And everything is managed from an app. What if you want to see the waves the sea? They are projected on the door. What if you need to get up at a specific time? They lift you up for you. And not through a reception call, no. It is through that same app that, at the scheduled time, it will make your bed recline to join you whether you want to or not . All while the lights gradually come on.

The technological solution also solves the temptation for the guest to set the mobile alarm and wake up the entire hotel. The Millennial has been able to solve other problems. In front of the tiny capsules, spacious common areas attractive to young people. Breakfast is also included, as well as all the coffee you want 24 hours a day. Even a free beer tap, although it is only available from 5:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon.
