10,000 Migrants to be Housed in Berlin's Luxury Hotels While Local Homeless Go Without Shelter

10,000 Migrants to be Housed in Berlin's Luxury Hotels While Local Homeless Go Without Shelter:
The Berlin Senate has announced an audacious, and some would say totally inappropriate plan to house 10,000 migrants in mid level to luxury hotels in the city with a total price tag of at least 600 million euros.
The senate has requested a contract with Grand City Hotels to lease out 22 hotels to house migrants in the city.
According to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine the senate entered negotiations with London-based Hampton Holding, the owners of the popular Holiday Inn and Wyndam hotels in Berlin.
The costs break down at 50 euros a night, 1500 euros a month and 18,000 euros a year.
The costs to rent an apartment in Berlin, even in the centre of the city average far lower prices. 
The company who own various hotels in the city like Hotel Berlin Mitte, the Berlin City East and City West, have been incredibly attracted to the idea as the government guarantees an occupancy rate of 95 per cent, something the hotels may only see seasonally rather than all year round when the capacity averages 60-65 per cent at best..."
