NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is introducing the popular Yotel accommodation concept by year-end.
Yotel is an innovative hotel concept providing business-class hotel accommodation at affordable rates. The concept has been specially developed for locations where space is scarce. The rooms are 7-10sq m in size.
“In line with Yotel’s worldwide expansion, we are delighted to work together with Schiphol Group and open a Yotel at the airport,” said Yotel CEO Gerard Green. “Yotel offers passengers the opportunity to relax for a few hours, have a rest and freshen up.”
The 56-room Yotel will be sited inside Schiphol’s terminal after passport control on the second floor of Pier D. Schiphol Group commented: “Transfer passengers will be able to enjoy a most comfortable stay here when staying at the airport. Departing passengers leaving very early in the morning can check-in the night before and stay at the Yotel until right before their departure.”
“We are delighted that Yotel will be opening its doors inside our airport terminal. We consider Yotel a valuable addition to our existing services and facilities,” said Freek Vermeulen, Business Development Manager at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
Yotel is the second in-terminal hotel located after passport control at the Dutch airport. Hotel Mercure Schiphol Terminal, which has 33 rooms, has been providing hotel accommodation there for many years.
