The features of the Underground Capsule bring it closer to a hotel.
The upcoming opening of Ushuaia’s first capsule hotel, Underground Capsule, has already aroused expectations among destinations and travelers alike. The new project is located in the city center, in front of the former Presidio, where the Maritime Museum operated. Different innovative alternatives are proposed for the southernmost tip of Patagonia.
This accommodation style originated from In Japan in the late 1970s, it was originally intended as a resting place for workers who missed the last train home. The first one to open was a capsule hotel in Osaka. But over time, capsule hotels have positioned themselves as an attraction and especially an experience among visitors to the Asian country.
According to Clarín newspaper, the Underground Capsule has features that bring it closer to a hotel, such as common spaces suitable for socializing and meeting, a communal kitchen and bathrooms. But the bedrooms (a specialty of capsule accommodation) are separate.
