Lola’s Pods Hotel is een vernieuwend hotelconcept midden in het centrum van Den Haag, gelegen in de levendige Haagsche Bluf. Met bezienswaardigheden als het Mauritshuis en het Binnenhof op loopafstand, én uitstekende OV-verbindingen naar o.a. Scheveningen en het centraal station, is dit de perfecte uitvalsbasis voor citytrippers.

In plaats van traditionele hotelkamers biedt Lola’s 80 moderne slaap-pods: compacte, comfortabele en betaalbare slaapplaatsen met gedeelde sanitaire voorzieningen. Zo combineert het hotel de sociale sfeer van een hostel met meer privacy en gemak.

Gasten kunnen de hele dag genieten van het unieke foodconcept: vers Haagsch Comfort Food uit een eigentijdse automatiek-muur. Van ontbijt tot borrel, alles is self-service en laagdrempelig. De lobby vormt het hart van het hotel: een multifunctionele huiskamer waar receptie, bar, werkplekken en lounge samenkomen in een retro 70s-stijl met neonaccenten.

Op het zonnige terras en via culturele avonden wil Lola’s ook een ontmoetingsplek zijn voor stad en reiziger. Lola’s Pods Hotel is jong, eigenzinnig en gastvrij – voor avontuurlijke toeristen, creatieve flexwerkers en iedereen daartussenin.
