History

Snoozebox was founded by leisure entrepreneur Robert Breare in 2011, with former Formula 1 racing driver David Coulthard as a principle. [1]

The portable hotels are found at many motorsports events and also at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at Thorpe Park's Crash Pad hotel. It reported a pretax loss of £2.3 million for the six months to June 30, less than the £5.1 million loss it reported in the first half of 2013. [2]

The company formed a partnership with Medirest to test the patient hotel model at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. [3]

The contractor Bilfinger Salamis had planned a modular hotel, using Snoozebox's shipping containers, which would have 80 ensuite bedrooms for its skills and safety training centre in Aberdeen. The hotel was planned to be open for 5 years. [4]

A 58-room youth hostel, a partnership between the Eden Project and the Youth Hostel Association has been built entirely of shipping containers by the company in St Austell. [5]

Snoozebox has their flagship hotel in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. [6]
