IFA Hotels & Resorts acquired the majority stake in YOTEL. With the signature YO! Formula of innovation and entertainment, the YOTEL concept uses the language of airline travel and offers a business experience for less than £80 a night. The cabins are 10 square metres in size and feature doubled beds, techno walls, sophisticated lighting, pull down desks, monsoon shower, flat screen TV and Wi-Fi access.

Cabins are bookable in blocks of four hours enabling delayed and transfer passengers to relax privately in a hotel environment. In addition, passengers leaving on those early morning flights can stay the night before to enjoy a few extra hours of sleep in the morning and check-in online from the comfort of their rooms, safe in the knowledge that they are just a casual stroll from their departure point. Early arriving passengers may also check-in or a few hours before going to a meeting.

London Heathrow and London Gatwick opened during 2007.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol opened during September 2008.
