Coming to a City Near You!
Good news for fellow road warriors.
Over the past few years most major hotel chains have been very busy tweaking their products. So much so that the Marriott chain alone offers a mind boggling 29 different hotels brands. By comparison Hilton offers 14 different hotel brands.
Clearly, they are committed to serving the unique needs of a very wide spectrum of travelers by developing customized products that cover every market niche possible. But their smaller, more affordable, offerings all seem like variations of each other to me.
There is one little upstart hotel chain however that (in my humble opinion) has developed a totally unique product: Citizen M.
My first experience with a Citizen M was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. I just needed a room for a quick overnight stay before flying on early the next morning. With its practicality, very affordable price, XL king sized beds and "walk to the terminal" convenience I opted to try it.
For a single traveler it turned out to be great.
My first experience at Citizen M may be found here: Roadboy's Review Citizen M Hotel - Paris - CDG
Since then, I have hoped to see the chain expand to North American markets I travel to most frequently.
Today, I received an e-mail announcing that there are locations now under development in:
California:
• Los Angeles - Hollywood Boulevard
• San Francisco - Union Square
Massachusetts:
• Boston - North Station
New York:
• New York City - Bowery (joining their present Times Square location)
Washington:
• Seattle - South Lake Union
Washington DC:
• National Mall / L'Enfant Plaza
For quick affordable high tech luxury this is all good news!
There were other global locations announced as well: Copenhagen, Kuala Lumpur, Paris Center, and Shanghai.
