German Hotel Is a Strip Joint

Naturists want it to be family-friendly lodging

Share

(Newser) – Germany's first mandatory-nudity hotel hasn't even opened yet, but management is laying down the law: Towels must be placed wherever guests sit. The Black Forest resort's clothing ban is an oddity even in Germany, a hotbed of naturism for over a century, reports the Times of London. In fact, clothing will be a badge of shame, reserved for those who violate the rule strictly prohibiting sexual harassment of fellow guests at the kid-friendly hotel.

“We hope that all kinds of people will come to the hotel, including families, and we are building a playground in the hotel grounds," says the man who came up with the policy and plans to buy the hotel.

Strict guidelines will dictate Germany's first nudist hotel, which owners hope will be frequented by families.
