With highly efficient hotels in urban markets, YOTEL has pioneered ways to meet changing guest needs through stays that feature smart room design, and clever tech-enabled features. The franchise agreement with Hilton allows YOTEL to continue to independently manage and license its brand at 23 hotels across 10 countries, with a goal of more than tripling its portfolio in the coming years.
Launched in London in 2007, YOTEL has extended its innovative brand to hotels in key markets like New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Singapore with smart, efficient room designs that feature the YOTEL SmartBed, which can transform from a flatbed to a sofa with the touch of a button, and techforward features like automated luggage storage.
“Hilton brings unmatched global distribution and loyalty scale to our brand and business,” said Phil Andreopoulos, Chief Executive Officer of YOTEL. “YOTEL’s relationship with Hilton allows us to expand our reach while staying true to who we are. What changes for YOTEL is access – not identity – in a capital-light, and scalable way.”
