Capsule Hotels - From Sci-Fi Escape Capsule to Commercial Sleeping Capsules
Greetings!

When I was young my first encounter with the words "escape capsule" or "escape pod" was on sci-fi movies situated in outer space. In the movies, an escape pod or escape capsule was usually portrayed as a capsule or craft that is big enough to carry one person and used to escape from a larger vessel or mothership during an emergency. In the movies, it is usually portrayed as a last resort of survival.

Today, capsule hotels or pod hotels are sprouting one by one and are largely look the same as the ones from the sci-fi movies (just like an escape pod or escape capsule), there's no doubt capsule hotel owners take inspiration straight from sci-fi movies. Capsule hotels are slowly gaining popularity and are showing potentials for mass adoption. Capsule hotels or pod hotels can be a good alternative to traditional hotels (good news to travelers on a tight budget).

Looking back, capsule hotels were originated in Osaka, Japan in 1979 (earlier than I thought). At first, I thought that capsule hotel made its debut only five to ten years ago or so. I guess Japanese intellect is so advanced that they saw the importance of practicality, efficiency, and space usability, no wonder Japan has one of the top economies in the world.

Let's take a look at some of the capsule hotels in the world beginning to the country where they originated, Japan.

<h1>9h Nine Hours</h1>

With 16 branches mostly located in Tokyo, Japan, 9h Nine Hours is one of the largest capsule hotels and is also one of the most popular. 9h's capsule arrangement is strikingly similar to the sleep capsule from the movie Avatar (though in the movie a person is not able to sit inside the capsule). If you take a look at the photos below, capsules are stacked in two layers and the capsule above overlaps with the capsules below, the capsule number is printed on the floor for easy recognition. Stairs are installed for the upper capsules.

@discoveringarni · 
Great post! I haven't experienced sleeping in a capsule hotel. I remember the days when this started out in Japan and I could hardly believe it at first in the early 80s when I was a child. Back then they used to compare it with sleeping inside a crypt. Fast forward to the present and here we are, it's now a type of accommodation around the world. It's cool to see how everything has evolved. 

Cool retractable table inside the pods. I'd like to experience it one day and perhaps who knows even design one.

Capsulate hotels are really interesting. Capsulate hotels utilized space well. Have you tried booking one?

That was super interesting and I agree that they look very fufuristic and sci-fi. I've always been intrigued by the idea of capsule hotels. I didn't realize that there was one in Canada, thats neat to learn. 
I'm wondering about the price of a stay in one of them. I imagine that they must be less expensive than a normal hotel. I realize that they the price would very by country but do you have any idea about how much any of them cost per night?

@afterglow · 
In "9h Nine Hours" capsule hotel (Japan), according to their website a standard plan of 2 nights stay will cost you 5900 Yen (about $54 USD), I am not very sure though since the plan is saying "should be maximum of two nights" (I provided a screenshot below for you to see what I mean). Yes, I learned in my research that prices vary by country. Also, I learned that capsule hotel does not always mean less expensive.

Here's a screenshot of their plans..

I loved this, I Guess they are tubes that are used for pipes or something like that, I love the idea especially for small businesses of spiritual retreats or for small camps, apart from saving money on construction and becoming a striking idea, it is very practical because they could simply move with a crane from side to side and also in the case of children's camps for example, each one would have their privacy and space which would provide more security to the parents.

That's also what I thought, that they are tubes used as pipes, and yes, you are correct, it is very practical because they can be moved by sinply using a crane.

These pods and capsules are amazing. I have watched the documentary on them, Also they are very refreshing and amazing to stay unless a person is suffering from claustrophobia. But they are spacious in their own way. I would like to spend time in them.
Great post, hope you have a lovely weekend:)

@storiesoferne · 
Metabolic Architecture or Metabolism is the design principle covering these capsule hotels or similar accommodation pods. What's interesting about them is that these buildings try to mimic organic biological growth. Here's the world's first example of Capsule Architecture, still originating from Japan.
