- Scandic's 'To Go' hotel room is an 18 square metre portable コンテナ
- Guests can request it to be 始める,決める up in almost any Scandinavian 場所

It might not look like your 基準 hotel, but this 18 square metre (194 square feet) コンテナ has everything that a guest would want.
There is a 二塁打 bed, a sitting area, a bathroom with にわか雨, a veranda and even breakfast served in the morning.
What it not normal, however, is that it is moveable.
Hotel chain, Scandic, has just introduced their portable hotel room: the Scandic 'To Go'
The moveable hotel room was first 開始する,打ち上げるd in June 2014 and has visited 場所s all over Scandinavia
The portable hotel is the 最新の marketing gimmick by Swedish hotel chain, Scandic.?
Scandic 'To Go' was 開始する,打ち上げるd in June 2014 and has so far visited 場所s all over Scandinavia.
It has stood in central Stockholm, in Trondheim in central Norway, on a beach in Southern Sweden and by a lake in Finland.
Today it's 存在 positioned の上に a marina in Djurgarden, a leafy green island in central Stockholm.
The sheer 兵たん業務 of putting the コンテナ in place does 限界 場所 選択s somewhat. Scandic says guests' preferred 位置/汚点/見つけ出す has to be accessible by road or by boat - and of course be big enough to 融通する the room.
So a request for the 最高の,を越す of a high mountain is ありそうもない to be 認可するd.
可能性のある guests can request where they would like the hotel to be 始める,決める up, but 確かな 場所s may not be possible
So far, the hotel has stood in central Stockholm, in Trondheim in central Norway and on a beach in Finland
Eva Zall, a 33-year-old 所有物/資産/財産 developer, 適用するd to stay in the hotel several months ago.
In her 使用/適用 she said that she would be happy with any central Stockholm 場所.
Scandic then 設立する the Djurgarden 場所 and asked whether she was happy to spend a night there.
Keen to have a night away from the children with her husband she agreed.
The room costs 2500 kronor per night (£220), which places it in the middle to high end price 範囲 of Stockholm hotel rooms.
But Zall says the 見解(をとる) of central Stockholm and the waterfront from the veranda is priceless.
'I don't think you will get this 見解(をとる) in any other hotel room. It is really a once in a lifetime 適切な時期.'
After looking through the コンテナ she says she is also impressed by how the room looks.
The room itself costs about USD $347 or £220, putting it on the higher 味方する of hotel prices in Sweden
Room with a 見解(をとる)! There is a sitting area, a bathroom with にわか雨, and even a veranda to enjoy
'First I had a look at the 支援する before coming around to check it out. And it 越えるs all 期待s.'
The コンテナ has a water 戦車/タンク and a 汚水 戦車/タンク. In most 場所s Scandic plugs it in to a 地元の electricity source, but for remote 場所s there is a 発生させる人(物) that can be used.
'This is really a combination of two 傾向s that we have seen developing,' says Johan Michelson, Scandic 副大統領 of Brand and 製品s.
'The first is the 'To Go' 傾向. You take things with you wherever you want to go. You take your coffee and your sushi to wherever you want.
And the second large 傾向 is the 追跡 of experiences. People have already experienced so much so just checking in to a 正規の/正選手 hotel room is not enough anymore. So this is an answer to that particular 傾向, this is an experience beyond the 正規の/正選手.'
最近の 場所s where the room was placed 含む a 主題 park in central Sweden in September and at a ゴルフ course in Southern Sweden in 早期に October.
But there are still some days 利用できる where guests can 適用する for their own preferred 場所s.
In even more remote 場所s, a 発生させる人(物) can be used to 供給する electricity to the pod
There are still some dates 利用できる where guests can 適用する to have it 始める,決める up in their own preferred lo cations
While it may be a brilliant marketing gimmick for the hotel chain, there's no 否定するing it's also a fantastic idea
Michelson says that they do get some unorthodox requests, some of which they have to 拒絶する for logistical, or 合法的な, 推論する/理由s.
'The strangest request we have had was from a 囚人. He 手配中の,お尋ね者 to put it up in the 刑務所,拘置所. That would have been a rather strange place for it. But I guess it could also be some sort of 前進するd escape 試みる/企てる, I guess he could have tried to go out with it when we 除去するd it.'
Breakfast is 配達するd by Scandic staff each morning and for some 場所s, such as central Stockholm, Scandic also 供給するs 安全 guards to keep an 注目する,もくろむ on the コンテナ.
With all the 付加 expenses Scandic does not make much 利益(をあげる) on the 事業/計画(する), but 利益(をあげる) was never the idea によれば Michelson.
'Of course we won't make much money out of this 事業/計画(する). But we learn a lot about our guests and we are at the cutting 辛勝する/優位 of the 拡大 of 利用できる 申し込む/申し出s. That also means a lot,' he says.
によれば a 2013 報告(する)/憶測 by the Stockholm 訪問者s Board, Stockholm is the Nordic 地域's most popular tourist 目的地 with 11-million 夜通し stays in 2013, an 増加する by 2.5 パーセント compared to 2012.
The 大多数 of people visiting Stockholm are 国内の tourists and 商売/仕事 travellers followed by tourists from Germany, the UK and Norway.
There are 現在/一般に nearly 300 hotels in greater Stockholm with a capacity of around 30,000 rooms a night.
Eva Camel, marketing 経営者/支配人 for Visit Stockholm says that the Scandic 'To Go' 概念 is a marketing gimmick for the Scandic hotel chain.
'This is a clever piece of marketing of course. They want people to talk about them. But of course, it is also very exciting.?
'It is like a caravan but without wheels - you decide where you want to go. I've seen pictures and it looks 広大な/多数の/重要な and of course it is fantastic to be able to choose where you live and wake up in the morning.'?
