The Crowne Plaza hotel near Venice is counting the costs after it put the wrong price on its internet advertisements. The hotel charged just 1 cent for its rooms instead of the normal price of up to 150 Euros (around £130).
More than 220 people took up the offer, which was wrongly posted on their website on Sunday, booking over 1400 room nights that could cost the owners of the hotel, Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) up to 90,000 Euros.
The company has vowed to honour the 1 cent a night rate, with a spokeswoman stating: “Although a pricing error, IHG is committed to honouring the 1-cent rate for guests who have a valid confirmation”.
The Crowne Plaza Hotel is situated around 20km from Venice in the Quarto D’Altino province of Italy. The main income for Venice and its surrounding area is tourism, attracting an estimated 15 million travellers a year.
