Salzburg hotel boss promises personal prayer room for Cruise

By Thomas Hochwarter

Salzburg hotel managers have promised Tom Cruise a private prayer room when he comes to the province this week.

Sepp Schellhorn, head manager of the Hotel Seehof in Goldegg, Salzburg, said he would go as far as setting up a prayer room for the devout Scientologist to make his star guest happy.

"I would arrange a prayer room for (him) if that’s what he is demanding," Schellhorn – who heads the Austrian Hotels Association – told Kurier newspaper today (Tues).

Cruise and Cameron Diaz are to stay at the five-star hotel when they arrive in the city on Thursday for a week’s shooting for the 20th Century Fox action movie "Knight and Day".

Oscar winner Nicolas Cage picked the Hotel Seehof to stay while shooting supernatural thriller "Season of the Witch" in Styria and Lower Austria in November last year.

Schellhorn said he was convinced his hotel had earned a reputation among stars as being an "oasis of quietness".

He said: "Those people have an extremely exhausting workday. They get up at four in the morning but get a full breakfast at our place nevertheless, while other hotel managers simply give them a Thermos of coffee."

Schellhorn also revealed the extra special service he provided to Nicolas Cage after his stay last year.

"When Cage went on to shoot in Hungary, we sent him his favourite soup there. We don’t make any extra money out of it, but the stars appreciate such things," he said.
