Tubby guests pay the price

Tuesday, 04 Mar, 2008 0

LONDON – Times Online reports that an Austrian “wellness” hotel has found a novel way of making overweight guests lose weight – by making them pay more.

Skinny visitors to the Bioferienhotel Mandler’s Landhaus, located in a pristine Alpine setting, can look forward to bargain deals, while tubby guests get pricier rates.

The prices at the all-organic food hotel, which describes itself as an “oasis for health-conscious and nature-loving people”, are determined on arrival, when visitors are weighed at reception.

“It is not only encouraging health and weight awareness, it also stimulates people to do more fitness training,” a hotel spokesman said.
