TO ENABLE A
LUXURIOUS AND
COMFORTABLE
OFF-GRID
EXPERIENCE,
POSHTEL
INTEGRATES
THE LATEST IN
DESIGN AND
TECHNOLOGY.
To enable a luxurious and comfortable off-grid
experience, Poshtel integrates the latest in design and
technology. Its 5th Element units, provide sustainable
electricity, fresh water and sewage, allowing them to
operate 100 percent off-grid using solar power. The
company has even collaborated with Swedish start-up
Orbital Systems, whose NASA inspired recirculating
and water purifying shower is the first of its kind.
The Orbital Systems shower continuously purifies
and recirculates 2.6-3.9 gallons of clean water at the
ideal temperature, and flow rate. With this shower,
guests can shower for as long as they like, without
damaging the environment, and Poshtel can be four
times more water efficient and reduce its need to store
and transport water. To reinforce the sustainability
message or to gamify the idea of water conservation,
water savings can be displayed in-room for guests. An
appealing initiative to get visitors engaged.
Poshtel PopUp is currently targeting Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan in a
number of franchise deals, enabling travelers to visit
truly unique, off-grid locations, whilst providing all the
comfort of a traditional hotel setting. The company
sees itself as part of a larger movement of change, an
interesting challenge to the hotel industry. The impacts
of tourism are complex, yet the idea of attracting
tourism to more rural locations, surrounded by local
culture in order to spread the benefits of tourism
is certainly noble. This collaboration of startups is a
great example of sustainable design combined with
sustainable travel, aiming to reduce the impact on a
local environment. Millennials and baby boomers alike
will be looking to take advantage of these new pop-up
locations, before they disappear and pop-up in a new
exciting location again.
