Yotel is announcing plans to operate a new 326-room hotel in Boston’s Innovation District, in close proximity to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC). Construction is expected to begin next month and the opening is set for 2017.

Yotel, a British hotel chain with properties in London, Amsterdam and New York, specializes in small, low-cost rooms called “cabins”. The rooms will range from 160 to 200 square feet, which is approximately half of the size of a standard room. Yotel simplifies the hotel experience and offers smart spaces. The hotel chain developed a “SmartBed” that folds up into a couch at the touch of a button and have computer cables and international power outlets built into its frames. Yotel is a model for efficiency with no space wasted!

The ground level will feature a reception area that will enable travelers to check-in, receive their keycard, and drop off their luggage in as little as five minutes, either through the self-serve kiosk or help from an employee. Guests will enjoy access to extensive public spaces including an indoor-outdoor roof deck providing a flexible environment, which will encourage co-working, casual meetings and social gatherings.

Yotel Boston will be a good option for budget-conscious business travelers and will join the mid-priced hotels currently in development around the BCEC. Among them are the [Aloft Boston Seaport](http://www.starwoodhotels.com/alofthotels/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=4142&language=en_US) and the [Element Boston Waterfront](http://www.starwoodhotels.com/element/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=4143&language=en_US). Yotel is also planning on new properties in San Francisco, Miami, and Brooklyn.
