Armchair Traveler - Luxury Hotel Pods

Beach pods, pool pods, outdoor pods - call them what you will but one thing is certain they are a new concept in outdoor living.  Protective and intimate they are a cross between a cabana and a daybed.  A cabana is a structure or a personal room and a pod is an enclosure.  With a pod you can take cover without 'shutting the door' on the outside environment like you might with a cabana.  Luxury hotels are slowly warming to the pod concept and I found a few appealing examples to kick off our week on pods.  This week we will be sharing all we know with you about this new outdoor furnishings concept in hopes that it might inspire you incorporate one in your outdoor space.
