Okay,
here's an idea that's been percolating for a year. Nap Hotels. I was in the Hospital District (Brookline) of Boston and realized there is a completely unexploited market for shift workers from students to surgeons who work 12 hours and probably need a nap more than they need a good sandwich.
A nap hotel could be set up a lot like a tanning bed joint, with soft sleepy music piped into small rooms comprised of a twin-sized sleep space with a clothing hook for jackets and ties. People could book naps around the clock, 20-minute minimum to 2-hour max. Wake-up calls and music optional. Nap Hotel. Wouldn't you like to know that your surgeon had a nap before operating?
Just a thought.

Awesome. Build it and (I) will come.
ReplyDeleteHow much would you charge. Regular hotels could just make this an added service, too.
ReplyDeleteI passed this idea on to the hotel moguls, who will undoubtedly never see it, However, I'm thinking an entrepreneurial business or hospitality student could develop this idea at a large college with a medical school attached. That;s how Kinko's got started.
ReplyDeleteAs for price, I would keep it as inexpensive as possible. $10-15 max, for 2 hours. It will generate income, no need for greed.
they already have something (or had it, i don't know if it is still open) at the mall of america in minneapolis, mn.

after reading that article, it looks like there is already a company that does this.
good idea though, i would love this.
