A 'pod hotel' beloved by millennial travelers is making one of North America's most luxurious ski resorts accessible to anyone
- Pod and capsule hotels - where guests sleep in tiny rooms equipped with the bare minimum - are becoming increasingly popular in Asia and Europe.
- This coming spring, a pod hotel will open in Whistler, British Columbia, near the luxurious Blackcomb Ski resort.
- Prices haven't yet been released, but the hotel should give budget travelers access to one of North America's best ski resorts.
The Blackcomb Ski resort in Whistler, B.C. is one of the most luxurious in North America. Averaging around $253 for a day and night, its slopes attract celebrities like Justin Bieber, and during peak season hotels can be up to $800 a night.
The Pangea Pod Hotel - opening in spring of 2018 - is hoping to attract a different kind of tourist to the heart of Whistler with its shared spaces, promised low rates, and tiny private sleeping pods.
Pod and capsule hotels have become increasingly popular among young, budget-conscious travelers in Japan, Amsterdam, and Singapore. Providing the bare minimum in a small space, these type of accommodations generally range between $24 to $65. Below, see the renderings for the Pangea Pod Hotel.
