...Greece and Dubai. Woodroffe's newest project is a hotel: combine a Japanese capsule hotel (tiny rooms, windows onto a corridor) with the plush service of a first-class airplane seat, and you've got YOTEL, a five-star inn at two-star ($130 a night) prices. (Think luxury cabin on a yacht.) The designs are done; all Woodroffe needs now is a central London spot to build it. His inspiration: a night in first class on a flight home from Kuwait.
