But this allows them to be seen to book into a super-strict hotel, and then nip out to the pub anyway (or bring their own booze, or pay the concierge to acquire some).

Since it's already been tested in court that hotels can't refuse custom to gay people on religious grounds, that would be a non-starter. However you can choose to serve whatever food & drink you wish.

Every gimp and weirdo will be trying to get refused entry or asked to leave for 5 minutes of fame

In my experience, many Muslim businessmen and entrepreneurs enjoy a drink as much as anyone. I can't see their business model working for long.

the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I was just wondering when the first gay customers will try it.

London’s Bermondsey Square Hotel bans alcohol and pork

A trendy London hotel no longer serves alcohol and pork to guests after its new Muslim owner decided to run the venue in accordance to Shariah law.

The owner of Bermondsey Square Hotel, who is said to be an Arab, turned the hotel into one of the first of its kind in the UK by imposing a policy which bans the consumption of liquor and pork on its premises.

Dishes that included traces of alcohol – such as beer-battered fish, a pudding with “drunken cherries” and rum ice cream have been taken off the menu, hotel staff explained.

Attempts were also on the way by chefs to replace pork varieties with chicken and beef sausages for breakfast meals.
