Using Shipping Containers for Hotel Storage

From Snoozebox and Travelodge to Denham Country Park’s Eco Pod, hotels are increasingly using repurposed and converted containers as alternative forms of accommodation thanks to their adaptive qualities. Shipping containers are by design, made to carry heavy loads and be stackable, with near limitless customisation options.

Similarly, hotels are using shipping containers to store furniture, linen / laundry items and supplies in a safe and secure manner. Available in a range of sizes, and delivered within days to your site, our storage containers are an effective solution for hospitality businesses who require on-site storage at short notice.

Shazia was helpful from my first enquiry to the delivery of my container. She sorted any query and enabled me to buy exactly what I was looking for. The driver who delivered container was also a credit to his company. Nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile .
