Currently located in concourse D, Dubai airport, this creative micro-hotel provides much needed rest and recuperation for weary travellers. We spoke to Larry Swann, Founder and CEOwho we recently awardedMost Influential CEO of the Year 2018 - Airport Technology in our Corporate Excellence Awards 2018, to learnmore about his pioneering idea. SnoozeCube: Creating A Revolution in Airport Hospitality Established in 2011, SnoozeCube offers a perfect example of what happens when visionaries take an innovative approach to the ever growing demand of international travellers visiting the most crowded places in the world. Passengers facing flight delays, cancellations or long transits at Dubai International Airport (the 4th largest in the world) now have the option to rent out a micro-hotel room right inside the terminal. Larry explores how the SnoozeCube came into being and how he has developed the ideal over the years to create a truly revolutionary solution. “SnoozeCube began as an idea I got after watching the movie terminal when Tom Hanks was stuck in transit for three months in an airport. This motivated me to research all world airports to find a solution to offer people this essential service, I did not want to compete with hotels or motels, so I came up with the solution of sleeping cabins in all transit areas of main airport hubs. Today there are a range of other, similar ideas, but none can compare with the original, and I have worked hard to ensure that my firm offers the very highest standards of service and truly exceptional facilities so that guests will keep returning and accept no substitutes.” Having been based in Dubai for eight years, SnoozeCube is seeking to build upon its success in the region and provide its vital services to even more clients over the years to come, as Larry is proud to conclude. “Overall, the future is very bright for my essential service, as the demand Snoozecube has created worldwide is well known due to the guests continued approvals. Looking ahead, I am keen to expand and eventually achieve my mission: to be known as an essential service provider in all major airport hubs giving 1805CV35 people the peace of mind that they are able to rely on our service.” Company: SnoozeCube Contact: Larry Swann Address: P.O.Box 58533, Concourse C & D Concorde, Dubai International Airport, Airport Road, Dubai, UAE Phone: 00971 55 3783576 Website: www.snoozecube.com
