Ananova:

Robbie Williams hires 72-room hotel

Robbie Williams has hired the whole of his favourite hotel in Vienna to avoid being disturbed by fans.

He will take over the 72-room Hotel Triest for his concert at the Ernst Happel Stadium on July 4.

And the star has reportedly asked for an exact replica of the bar to be built backstage at the gig.

Concert organiser Alex Nussbaumer said: "Because Robbie has completely fallen in love with the bar at his favourite Vienna hotel, we now have to build an exact replica backstage at the stadium."

He added: "I have already sent Mr Williams brochures about our museums and famous sights at his request."

Williams, who usually stays in the Hotel Triest's luxury suite when he is in Vienna, hopes to avoid autograph hunters by booking the entire hotel, according to Austrian magazine News.

The Triest has 72 rooms, an Italian restaurant, a fitness centre complete with sauna and solarium and a cocktail bar called the Silverbar.

The singer is expected to fly into Vienna from Paris on July 3, accompanied by an entourage of 140 and to stay in the capital for three days.
