JPOD Pod Hotel launches at RGIA, Hyderabad

JPOD Hotels Pvt Ltd has officially opened its first pod hotel at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad, positioned near the City Side Check-In facility. This initiative aims to improve the travel experience for passengers by providing a modern and convenient accommodation option at the airport.

Jagrut Thakkar, Founder of JPOD Hotels Pvt Ltd, commented, “We are excited to partner with RGIA in Hyderabad. JPOD’s global standards in design and functionality position us to offer effective accommodation solutions across other airports in India.”

Key features of the JPOD facility include private sleeping pods designed for relaxation, work, or personal time, all available at affordable prices. The pods are equipped with secure storage and entertainment options while maintaining high standards of safety and hygiene.

Hiren Gandhi, Director of JPOD Hotels Pvt Ltd, added, “While JPOD is tailored to meet the needs of airport travellers, we initially launched Urbanpod, India's first-of-its-kind Pod Hotel, in 2017. It was redesigned and relaunched at Mumbai Central Station in 2021 to serve railway passengers. These two strategic launches allowed us to assess the acceptability of Pod-style accommodations in India. Over time, we've successfully expanded our offerings, providing seamless and innovative stay experiences for railway and airport travellers.”

Pradeep Panicker, CEO-GHIAL said, “With the ever-growing number of passengers opting for air travel, they are also increasingly seeking comfort and convenience. Travellers with hectic schedules desire some “me time” where they can rest and relax in privacy. This facility offers a perfect place to unwind while transiting through the airport. This facility at the Hyderabad Airport will provide our passengers a space to rejuvenate.”

The hotel's design integrates modern aesthetics with elements inspired by Hyderabad's cultural heritage, offering travellers a unique and immersive experience.
