Picture: Yotel Inspiration... Simon Woodroffe, the founder of Yotel, says he pondered how the capsule hotel idea would work in the UK. "I was lucky enough to get an upgrade to the sleeper bed in British Airways first class. I went to sleep with the conundrum of how to make a Japanese capsule hotel acceptable in the west and woke up realising the solution was around me: all I needed to do was find the designer of the BA first class cabin and ask them to help me design a hotel," he said.
