Love Villa Hotel, a love hotel removed an Adolf Hitler mural in one of its themed rooms Saturday after news of it went viral the past week and sparked outrage from Jewish groups worldwide. Blitz has published the news on Saturday. An employee at the hotel, seeking anonymity said the hotel had been open for five years under its manager Sittichai Suproongreung as manager.
The employee said they spotted a couple of foreigners going to inspect the room Wednesday. Soon after, district administration officials and soldiers arrived at the hotel and asked that the image be removed, he added.
Love Villa Hotel contains various other themed rooms, including one with Japanese motives and a light-up hammer-and-sickle mural.
