That "very ugly, very dated" hotel known as the Contemporary Resort recently got their rooms renovated. As for the exterior, they are actually adding a new wing to the place. No word if they'll try the pod thing again. Steel frames + heat + humidity probably makes that sort of thing impossible.

The rooms were all built off-site as pods with the idea that they could be regularly updated and swapped out (halls and other building essentials were more fixed). Unfortunately, the building settled too much and the pods are wedged in.

A similar idea, but way cooler.

]]> <![CDATA[Temporary Hotel Made of Self-Contained Sleep Pods Built in London]]> I kinda love the idea, except... Do the windows have like a button that you press to make it impossible to see out of? Cause completely transparent is like a museum exhibit.

Or...oooh, no! On giant robot chicken legs! It'd be like a 21st Century Baba Yaga hut!
