An unusual ‘hotel’ has opened up for tired travellers at an airport in Mexico City – with bosses offering new capsules for people to sleep in.
The pods are available for $30 a night, and include a bed, bathroom and locker for luggage.
It is part of a growing trend which has its origins in Japan in the late 1970s.

The hotel, named IzZzleep, is anticipated to have 12,000 customers in its first year
Manager Jose Martin said, AOL reports: ‘We had to make significant changes because the capsule hotels in Japan are very oriented to their own customs and not so much to tourism.
‘This (hotel) is designed for the times and necessities of those travelling in a plane.’
It has opened at Benito Juarez International airport in Mexico City, where a group of businessmen invested $280,000 into the venture at Terminal 1.
