What happens when you apply the space saving designs of the business class of airlines and of luxury yachts to hotel rooms? Answer : You get an Yotel.
Currently available at only two airports in Britain and Netherlands, a Yotel is a set of cabins which passengers can hire on daily or hourly basis, if they have a long waitover period between connecting flights. The standard cabin, about 75 square feet in size, houses a bed, overhead storage (yes, just like flights), a fold away table, a flat panel TV, free internet connection and a bathroom with shower.

The Yotel is proof enough that innovation is not necessarily invention. Borrow the ideas from one industry, apply it to another, and voila, you have innovation.
