Want a hotel you can bring with you? Travelodge UK has launched the TravelPod, the world's first mobile hotel room. Take it to a major event or an exotic location. Very Cool.
"Each “Travelpod†is sealed in a 6 metres (Length) by 2.4 metres (Width) x 2.6 metres (Height) clear poly-carbonate glass box but inside has features that you will find in any Travelodge hotel across the country. The room comes complete with a luxury double bed, bedside tables, lights, duvet, pillows, fully carpeted floor, dressing table with light, mirror, chair and even its own WC." - Giz Magazine
