1 Cent Weekends - Crowne Plaza Quarto D’Altino in Venice Honors Pricing Blooper (GALLERY)
Crowne Plaza Quarto D’Altino in Venice Honors Pricing Blooper

The 1 cent weekend lives not only in our dreams; the Crowne Plaza Quarto D’Altino offered its visitors a romantic four-star weekend in Italy’s lagoon city of Venice for only 1 cent.

In just a few hours, 1,400 nights had been booked under the tariff. It turned to be a mistake in a hotel booking system which ended up costing the hotel a great amount of money—Reuters estimated it at 90,000 euros. No wonder the staff at the Crowne Plaza Quarto D’Altino hotel declined to comment this news!

The offer, a tiny fraction of the Crowne Plaza Quarto D'Altino's normal rate of up to 150 euros (130 pounds) a night, was quickly withdrawn when staff realised the mistake. (reuters)
