EasyHotel trials self-assemble four-poster beds
EasyHotel is trialling what it describes as a ‘self-assemble four-poster addition’ to its beds.
The hoteliers said the upgrade is aimed at ‘romantic couples looking for that little bit extra for their overnight stay’.
For £5, couples can hire a pink and orange four-poster canopy to self-assemble in their room. The sturdy structure, which folds out to form a four-poster structure, is topped with a vinyl pink canopy and orange chiffon-effect netting.
EasyHotel is also offering ‘bedside bubbly’ – a litre bottle of Fanta – and Terry’s Chocolate Orange ‘to make the romantic occasion complete’.
Jorge Rodriguez, who holds the title of romantic experience coordinator at easyHotel, said: "There’s no beginning to the steps we will take to add extra romantic touches to our guests’ experience at easyHotel.
"For £5, and with a little imagination and a bit of elbow grease, guests can transform their rooms into romantic havens. This, combined with the bedside bottle of bubbly, will no doubt be irresistible for some."
The trial is taking place at easyHotel’s Croydon hotel, which the company is marketing as ‘a leading European romantic destination’.
EasyHotel describes Croydon as: ‘famed for its cultural life, parks, evocative street names and world-class cuisine’, adding it ‘is often compared to Paris’.
To order a self-assemble four-poster, guests simply ask at reception, and the 25kg self-assemble pack will be handed over in exchange for a £5 per night rental charge.
easyHotel’s flagship Croydon hotel has been undergoing refurbishment, with major improvements to décor, beds, bathrooms and finishing touches, such as the bedside integrated USB charging points.
Rooms at easyHotel start at £19.99 per night.
