The latest hotel to open at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport won’t be any comfort to stranded passengers and businessman with canceled stopovers.

The new facility that opened last month is built… specifically for goldfish !

Travel agent D-reizen has opened the Goudvissen Hotel so travelers have a safe place to leave their pet fish while they are on vacation.

The hotel aquarium is in the airport arrivals hall, and visiting goldfish are placed in separate areas within the tank to assure that owners receive the same goldfish they dropped off before going on holiday.

The aquarium will also house 80 permanent goldfish guests.

“The tank is set up as a hotel. The fish can make use of facilities including a swimming pool and a tennis court,” said a travel agent spokesperson.

The initiative is part of a campaign by the travel agent that uses fish in its advertising.
