A gift from the holidays is for many holiday makers simply. Some support, however, is the same in the Hotel and Amazing call, as a recent survey of the “Wellness Heaven” shows. The online hotel guide, has interviewed over 900 4 – and 5-star Hoteliers in Germany.
Clear frontrunner among the stibitzten Were are towels and bathrobes, followed by hangers, pins, Cutlery and cosmetics. Some of the guests do not give, but obviously with the small stuff satisfied: 20.2 percent of the most stolen items in Hotels make works of art.
Swiss pick up the hair dryer
The probability of a Kunstraubs according to the survey, in a 5-star Hotel even 5.5 times Higher than in a 4-star operation. Even Blankets, pillows and mattresses, let the guests like to go. They were in the middle of the night via the elevators directly in the underground garage will be removed, and informed the Hoteliers.
The survey breaks down the stolen goods, also to the Nations. Accordingly, the hair dryer is located in the Swiss particularly high in the course, while Italian wine glasses, French TV light bulbs, appliances, and Dutch and toilet paper from their room, and steal.
“It’s a TV the way was already”
And how is the Situation in Zurich Hotels? What can local guests will go for it? According to Martin moss, President of the Zurich hotel Association (ZHV), there are no surveys or statistics. However, would also in his own hotel things always taken away – usually towels or bathrobes. “If we find that a Bathrobe was stolen, then we inform the guests that we will charge the coat over your credit card,” says moss.
In General handle it, but the little things, which is why you see the ZHV is not forced to be active. “However, I have also heard that someone took a television from the room,” says moss. It was a risk, with the every Hotel, a deal would have to be found.
art theft would be conceivable
The ZHV-President can also imagine that objects of art are stolen from Hotels. “It is more often than not, exhibitions of artists take place in the lobbies or in the catering areas. Me personally, no such case has been reported.”
The most well-known art collection in a Hotel is located in the Dolder Grand on the Zurich mountain. Have been worn since the RAID of the Federal customs administration in March 2017, further objects of art from the Hotel? In the luxury hotel wanted to take on the request of no one to issue – “due to the privacy of our guests”.
charging cable disappear forever
Verbose from the Park Hyatt – and with good reason. “The Park Hyatt Zurich was opened 15 years ago, and since then, nothing the way came in handy. Not even bathrobes,” says the media responsible Laura Amanzi. The guests would at most take a letter paper, or so-called Badamenities such as body lotions, Shampoos and Slippers. “These things are, however, included in the room price.”
What occurs, however, in recent years, according to the Amanzi more and more often, is that the guests are the charging cable for Smartphones take, which presents the Hotel as a loan. “But we assume that this happens Accidentally. The Problem is not, as we make the cable for a Deposit.”
Even the Friday bag stays
A similar positive balance Anouk Heller, marketing attracts managers in 25 Hours Hotel. The hotel chain operates in Zurich houses on the long street and the Pfingstweidstrasse. There is practically nothing comes off, according to Heller, and the, although the Hotel provides the guests during their stay Gadgets available that may well tempt you to Take. Among other things, a Friday bag, a UE Boombox and a fabric lion for the Little ones.
“If the guests are left with the stuff that we write them a nice reminder. Then you’ll send it back to us.”Anouk Brighter,

“At the end of the stay are the things still there,” says Heller. But someone should take a bag or one of the other products, let the misunderstanding at the latest, when you check out easily clarify. “And if the guests are left with the stuff that we write them a nice reminder. Then, send it back, respectively. The problems we had, therefore, never.”
It looks very much as if the tourists who stay at Hotels in Zurich, are much more gentlemanly than those in German Hotels. And for all those who want to be legally still a work of art from the Dolder: On 5. December 2019, to be sold at public auction in Zurich, Galerie Koller 114 works of art from Dolder-owner Urs Schwarzenbach in the order of the Federal customs administration. However, you should have the necessary money in the process. The minimum price for the artwork is a total of 2.8 million francs.
