Why has no one come up with the concept of mobile hotels on wheels yet? Here’s the idea.

Essentially, it’s a container with furniture inside that integrates with adjacent containers. Each container, or unit, can be moved and connected to another location. The façade is quick to erect and dismantle, to conceal the wheels and cabins. During the summer, the peak demand season, such structures could be erected in deserted areas close to the coast (up to “within walking distance”). Different units have different prices. Combined units are more expensive.

Further. The units are built according to a standard project to be compatible with each other. Interior design, furniture, materials, and appliances can vary from unit to unit. In the low season, units move to areas where demand is higher. Each unit can have its own owner. They can choose to have it managed by the company that moves them, or they might manage it through a single mobile hotel. The hotel thus rents units from companies that move them or directly from the owner. Both the owner and the companies that move the units try to find a hotel that will pay more. And the hotel tries to fill the units to remain profitable. Overall, the situation is similar to that with railway cars.

The service is provided by the hotel. The unit owner only rents out/serves as a “renovated room” and “the furniture inside it”. In one hotel, all rooms might be completely different – but when someone books a room, they choose a specific unit.
