One of the most popular and now well known tiny hotels is the United States is located in Portland Oregon. The Caravan, the Tiny House Hotel, is a cluster of tiny houses located in the heart of Portland’s Alberta Arts District.
A great opportunity for those who perhaps would like to sample the tiny house experience. Six tiny house hotels offer 100- 200 square feet of living space. Each tiny house hotel has its’ own unique identity and accompanying name: Roly Poly, Kangablue, Caboose, Skyline, Tandem, Rosebud. My favorites are the Roly Poly and Kangablue (just in case anyone wants to book a stay for me!)
Cost And Reservations For The Caravan Tiny House Hotel
Very popular and very booked in advance. Last minute reservations would be difficult after perusing the Caravan’s reservation calendar. Cost per night is $145 to $165 plus Portland’s 13.3% hotel tax.

Capsule Hotel Tiny TINY Hotel
There is ‘tiny’ and then there is … the capsule.
A capsule hotel. Does it seem a little odd to have capsule and hotel in the same sentence and connected?
Capsule hotels are not prevalent in the United States. Very popular for the economic Japan traveler in Japan and Hong Kong. There may be a few amenities, but a “capsule” generally measures 6′ 7″ by 3’3″; each capsule is stacked on top of each other and long term stays are probably not a frequent occurrence.

I love the idea of smaller spaces although the capsule hotel in China does seem to be a little to the extreme.

I’m with you! The capsule may be a smidge too tiny for me.

Yes, I have stayed in a tiny hotel in Texas. I liked it better than a regular hotel room.

I can’t wait to try one!

That capsule hotel gives me the creeps. I’m afraid tiny hotels aren’t my style, either, just as tiny houses aren’t. Guess I’m too old and set in my ways.
tab says
The capsule would be a tough one I agree!
Janice Wald says
Hi,
We once stayed in a tiny hotel room– the Block or Blok hotel. Beyond small, like a tiny block. The whole room was the bed. The bathroom was the shower. Compact!

That is definitely compact! I’m sure it was an interesting stay!
Andria Perry says
Nope! I cannot deal with a fat man and a tiny space! I know I would not be able to do the capsule, I toss and turn to much 🙂
