Danish hotel guests cycle for free food
The Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers is installing two generator-hooked exercise bicycles, which will be used by guests to produce the most possible amount of electricity.
"Anyone producing 10 watt hours of electricity or more for the hotel will be given a locally produced complimentary meal encouraging guests to not only get fit but also reduce their carbon footprint and save electricity and money," the hotel said in a statement.
The meal will include any of the main courses on the hotel restaurant or lobby bar's menu worth USD 44, media reported.
The hotel will launch the bikes from April 19 to test the idea for a year and hoping to expand it to more Crowne Plaza hotels — part of the InterContinental Hotels Group.
