150 prostitutes to serve 1,000 patrons in Europe's biggest brothel

The sex emporium in Austria will have 150 prostitutes in a vast knocking shop complete with restaurant, beauty parlour, gym, sunbeds and hairdressers.

The 15-million-pound-brothel is the idea of local businessman Peter Laskaris, who said, "It's more than just a brothel."

"It will be more like a four star hotel with all the usual facilities - but of course with beautiful girls," the Sun quoted him as saying.

Developers are planning to locate the huge bordello - which will have a staggering 147 guest bedrooms as well as an on-site doctor - on the outskirts of the country's capital, Vienna.

A shuttle service will be running to the brothel from the centre of the city.

But the precise location of the fun house is being kept secret in a bid to prevent protests from angry locals.

The fun house also promises to host sex show festivals, orgies and swingers parties.
