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 peopleâ€, 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.
