LyLo Starts Global Expansion with Plans for London Pod Hotel

LyLo, part of EVT, has kickstarted the global expansion of its innovative pod hotel concept and has chosen London as the potential location of its first European property.

Appointed as sole agent, P-Three, the retail, leisure and placemaking agency, is initially focused on potential sites in Southwark, although other central locations will be considered. LyLo is looking for buildings of 15,000 to 50,000 sq ft to transform into a pod hotel, which could include office or retail conversion projects or appropriate basement space.

Quote from Thomas Rose, Co-founder at P-Three: “The pod hotel model has proven to be a game-changer in the hospitality space, especially for younger, budget-conscious travellers who often prioritize unique experiences and dynamic, social environments over traditional hotel offerings. With its large and vibrant visitor base, London is the perfect starting point for LyLo’s European expansion and we’re confident that their innovative approach and design-led concept will resonate well in this market.”
