The sources reveal that a long debate had taken place among the executives of the hotel in regards to becoming crypto-pro.
Finally, after five years of debate and back and forth arguments, the hotel has finally come to a conclusion, which is promising for cryptocurrency users. Now, the crypto-users in possession of Ether and Bitcoin would be able to visit the hotel and pay for services with the respective currencies.

This means that if a guest pays in BTC or ETH, their funds would be converted into Francs right away for storing. This way, the hotel will be able to avoid any volatility factor, which may bring the price of the services provided down to an alarming figure.
