Japanese-style sleeping pods arrive in Kochi | Kerala Travel

In a 10,000-square-foot building near Ernakulam South railway station in the city, the conventional rules of hospitality are being rewritten. There are no sprawling suites or heavy drapes. Instead, space is defined by efficiency, technology, and a concept that seems lifted straight out of a sci-fi novel: ‘the sleeping pod’.

Kochi Pods, a new facility that opened its doors a month ago, is introducing the Japanese concept of “capsule hotels” to the commercial capital of Kerala, marking an evolution in how the city travels and sleeps.
