The German resort town of Bad Nauheim is doing everything they can to accommodate the wishes of their new overlords: Hotel cleans up for Saudis. (Hat tip: Kilgore Trout.)

The pictures of naked women are being removed from the hotel’s health spa, the hard-core porn channels switched off and all the alcohol will be removed from the mini bars before Saudi Arabia arrives.

Germany is rolling out the red carpets for the 31 foreign teams and a million overseas visitors heading its way for the World Cup but the small resort town of Bad Nauheim north of Frankfurt is busy taking away temptation for its Muslim guests.

Few places in the world are as liberal as Germany when it comes to public nudity and access to alcohol, where even fast-food restaurants sell beer with burgers and teenagers are able to buy drinks before they can drive cars. Prostitution is legal in Germany and the government is not too prude to collect tax on it.

Yet the luxurious Hotel Dolce Bad Nauheim is doing all it can to shield the Saudi Arabia team from all those western ways when they take up 59 of its 159 rooms on May 27 for the finals. The Saudis play Spain, Ukraine and Tunisia in the opening group stage.

“We do have a photo exhibition in the pool area which shows a lot of skin and it goes without saying that it will be removed by then,” Michel Prokop, the hotel’s general manager, told Reuters.“There are 20 tasteful portrait photos, but out of courtesy there will be no skin and no breasts,” he added.

There are also five art nouveau paintings hanging in a theatre in the park that belongs to the hotel. The paintings by Wilhelm Kleukens feature naked boys wearing wings - and will come down.

“We’re following some basic ‘do’s and don’ts’. The whole staff is taking cross cultural training sessions to make them aware of the differences of Germany and Saudi Arabia.”
