Room Revolution

A short walk from Belorusskaya railway station, a 35-minute train ride from the airport, Moscow's first Japanese-style capsule hotel is offering travelers a night's accommodation in the city center for as little as $85.

For Moscow, ranked as the world's most expensive hotel destination in a U.K. study last month, the arrival of the box- like sleeping quarters with a size of less than four square meters constitutes a revolution for business visitors.
