Nine Hours
Kyoto, Japan
When you're traveling through a city or country and simply need a place to rest your head for a while, how long do you really need? The name Nine Hours says it all. This clean, comfortable capsule hotel gives you just long enough to shower, sleep, and get ready in the morning, along with all the amenities you need — and none you don't. Those include hot showers, luggage lockers, your own nightclothes, towels, tooth brush, and slippers, and a sleeping pod that provides just enough room for you to get some shut-eye, and a built-in alarm system that wakes you with gradual light instead of noise. The super-modern, spaceship-like decor is just icing on the cake.
