Dubai hotel unimpressed with sexy model Instagram photos
A five-star hotel in Dubai is urging women to remove its name from tags on racy Instagram pictures - for fears they're ruining the hotel's reputation.
Managers at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah raised concerns after around 25 Russian models stayed at the hotel while doing a fashion shoot for the D'AngelAnn brand.

Some of the models posted 'semi-naked' photos of themselves in their underwear at the upmarket hotel during their stay.

The Palm Jumeirah said it was concerned for the comfort of its other guests as it prides itself on being a 'family' hotel. A spokesman told the Mirror: "You have to understand that this is an Arab country. We have had a lot of complaints from families with young children."
According to The Sun, he added: "We do not want to see our geolocation on photos of girls in semi-naked and erotic poses.
"Let the photograph simply state the location as Dubai."
