Everyone's welcome! A hotel run by people with disabilities | DW Documentary

The Stadthaushotel in Hamburg is a prime example that people with disabilities can do a demanding job. The concept is working - beds are fully booked.
Welcome to Stadthaushotel in Hamburg, where the customer is king and the staff is truly special. Many of the employees in Europe's first 'integration hotel' have mental or physical disabilities. Claudia Peterson has Down syndrome and a qualified position. Without her work, the hotel would cease to run. In fact, the hotel was founded by parents of disabled children, who wanted to give their kids the possibility to live independently.

I am studying organizational behavior in grad school; this hotel is in my textbook as a prime example of hiring the disabled for the mutual benefit of the business, customers, and workers. What some would consider a bottom end job is a wonderful career and social opportunity for others.

[@cobratech47]

It seems that this working crew is way more productive than non disabled workers. May god bless them.

[@ajeetalbert91]

Their hearts are filled with love.

[@sheilareynolds3755]

Such love ,joy and compassion. They have so much to teach us.

[@catnekokotyonok5180]

[@sroevukasroevuka]

I would love to stay at a hotel like this. My grandson is autistic and one of my gra daughters is blind. I have a lot of empatby and compassion for disabled people. Sadly many people are horrible human beings and treat anyone different than them badly.

I would invite all my friends and go stay at this hotel, if I ever got a chance to travel to Hamburg. I live in the United States and I hope hotels like this will pop up more. I have disabilities myself and I would love to see more people with disabilities run and manage these types of settings.

[@ayitian1]

Capitalist would find a way to profit off of anyone and anything! I guess it gives them something to do.

[@VV-rn9fs]

how can anyone actually find something bad in this ... sick people

[@moodydude6790]

Claudia is a true follower of Christ.

[@malkaringel7864]

What is up with Jesus? I pray to god, directly. What a great idea this hotel

[@NathanDreamsBig]

This documentary was nice to watch, but the director has really bad taste in some of the B-Roll's that were not watchable when people are eating!

[@manatee2500]

It was a subtle element and lent some insight into disability of one the women profiled.

[@fraserkatie]

Im loving Claudia! If I stayed there I would give her a hug and and chat with her if she knows English. She's so sweet and shes very independent!

[@lisad2701]

I am electric wheelchair bound and love this concept. But really, anyone who prays and actually believes that there is a sky daddy who listens and has a "special plan" just for them ought to be deemed as having an intellectual disability.

[@manatee2500]

Religion wasn't mentioned, but the profile of with the Down's Syndrome woman does reveal a human being with feelings and able to appreciate of life.

[@vidaripollen]

Lisa D different people hv different way of dealing with uncertainty and stress.

[@renatedebruyn9612]

Lisa D. Who are we to criticize people who say a prayer, or go to church and sing hymns if it gives them comfort.

[@idiedtoo1425]

Lisa D what a cheerful person you are...I feel sorry for those around you.
