The new regulations regarding the classification of Love Hotels commenced on 1st January 2011. Love hotels which met the definitions of the new law were required to be registered with the Police by 31 January 2011.
The law required love hotels to be registered with the Police if -
- "rest" pricing is advertised
- concealed carparks are provided
- there is not enough interaction between customers and staff on checkin/checkout
- in room payments machines are available
The article below describes how from 1 February 2011, the Police have started audits and compliance checks of all love hotels to ensure that hotels now classified as "love hotels" are registered with the Police.
The article describes how one hotel was found by the Police to be in breach; but doesnt describe what sanction was applied. But a breach of the Public Morals Act, such as a failure to register with the Police can result in criminal sanctions.
