Задание 1. ОТКРОЙТЕ ТЕКСТ «Yotel - Tiny Hotel Rooms in the Middle of Manhattan», НАХОДЯЩИЙСЯ ПО ССЫЛКЕ: http://www.english-online.at/news-articles/travel/yotel-tiny-hotel-rooms-in-manhattan.htm

Прочитайте и переведите текст ПИСЬМЕННО.

A radically new hotel has opened in the middle of New York. YOTEL, a British hotel chain, offers travelers great comfort and luxurious style at a small price. How can this be? They just pack as many rooms as they can into a futuristic hotel building.

The first so-called capsule hotel opened a short distance from Times Square, in the middle of Manhattan. A 12 square meter room offers all the comfort of a suite and is priced at about a hundred dollars a night. This is considered a bargain if you take a look at other hotels in downtown New York.

The idea of capsule hotels comes from Japan, where the first such hotel opened in 1979. Although rooms are much smaller than in New York they offer people a night’s sleep or a place to stay at the last minute.

The first Yotel was opened at London’s Gatwick airport in 2007. It became an immediate success. The company’s bosses thought that opening such a low-price hotel in the middle of Manhattan would be a win-win situation. Normal prices for a hotel room that offers the same luxury as Yotel’s begin at about $400.

The Yotel tower in New York has 669 rooms. Even though they are quite small visitors never get that feeling, partly because the rooms offer large windows. The bed is automatically pulled back to stand against the wall during the daytime. The hotel offers other luxuries too: a movie theatre, Wi-Fi connections, futuristic lounges and the largest roof bar of New York.

Whether or not Yotel will change the hotel industry is hard to say. But the largest hotel to be built in Manhattan since 2002 will definitely be a gain for New York’s tourist industry

Перевод:

В центре Нью-Йорка открылся радикально новый отель. YOTEL — это британская сеть отелей, которая предлагает путешественникам максимальный комфорт и роскошный стиль по низкой цене. Как такое возможно? Сеть просто размещает в футуристическом здании отеля столько номеров, сколько сможет.

Первый так называемый капсульный отель открылся недалеко от Таймс-сквер, в центре Манхэттена. Номер площадью 12 квадратных метров предлагает все удобства люкса и стоит около ста долларов за ночь. Это считается выгодной сделкой, если посмотреть на предложения других отелей в центре Нью-Йорка.

Идея капсульных отелей пришла к нам из Японии, когда первый такой отель открылся в 1979 году. Хотя номера там намного меньше, чем в Нью-Йорке, но они дают возможность гостям переночевать или быстрее решать вопрос с поиском места для временного проживания в последний момент.

Первый отель Yotel был открыт в лондонском аэропорту Гатвик в 2007 году. Он сразу же стал востребованным местом. Руководство компании предположило, что открытие такого недорогого отеля в центре Манхэттена будет беспроигрышной ситуацией для дальнейшего развития бизнеса. Обычные цены за номер в других местах, которые предлагают такой же уровень сервиса, как в Yotel, начинаются примерно от 400 долларов.

Отель Yotel Tower в Нью-Йорке насчитывает 669 номеров. Несмотря на то, что они довольно маленькие, у посетителей никогда не возникает ощущения ограниченного пространства, благодаря большим окнам в номерах. Днем кровать автоматически собирается и отодвигается к стене. Отель предлагает и другие роскошные удобства, например, услуги кинотеатра, Wi-Fi, футуристические залы и доступ к самому большому бару на крыше в Нью-Йорке.

Трудно сказать, изменит ли Yotel гостиничный бизнес. Однако крупнейший отель, который построен в Манхэттене с 2002 года, определенно принесет пользу туристической индустрии Нью-Йорка.
