About 150 employees of the Athens Ledra Hotel have gathered outside the hotel on Syngrou Avenue in Athens demanding their unpaid wages. Many employees have not been paid in over two months and have announced that they will not back down until they are vindicated.
The hotel management is not currently accepting any new customers and has been forwarding tourists to other hotels. Employees told ANT1 that many customers left the hotel en masse on Tuesday evening.
With the hotel having accrued debts of about 33 million euros, the main creditor Alpha Bank attempted to auction it, however this was called off at the last moment after consultation with the Paraskevaidi family, which owns and operates the business.
