JPOD Hotels has unveiled a new Pod Hotel at GMR’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, located at the city-side check-in facility on the car park level. “We are thrilled to partner with RGIA in Hyderabad. JPOD’s global standards in design and functionality enable us to offer effective accommodation solutions at airports across India,” said Jagrut Thakkar, Founder of JPOD Hotels.
JPOD Hotels initially launched India’s first Urbanpod, a Pod Hotel, in 2017, which was revamped and reopened at Mumbai Central in 2021 for railway passengers. “These two strategic launches allowed us to gauge the acceptance of Pod-style accommodations in India,” added Hiren Gandhi, Director of JPOD Hotels.
Pradeep Panicker, CEO of GHIAL, noted that with the increasing number of air travelers, there is a growing demand for comfort and convenience. “This facility offers an ideal place to relax while transiting through the airport. The Pod Hotel at Hyderabad Airport will provide our passengers with a space to rejuvenate,” he stated in a release.
Pod hotels, also known as capsule hotels, feature small, bed-sized rooms designed to offer affordable and basic overnight stays for commuters who do not require conventional hotel accommodations.
